In an arrangement to simultaneously deliver the front sections of two identical vehicles, e.g. truck cabin with front running gear and motor, the two vehicles are linked back-to-back by a coupling unit (3). Each side of the coupling unit has push-fit extensions (11, 12) which are inserted into a matching conical socket (6). The extensions are then spread by a hand-wheel and spindle (8). Following assembly, the two units are delivered to a specialist vehicle builder.
