Abstract:
1. A road vehicle provided with a cooling duct for the cooling of a brake, the cooling duct comprising: an air intake, which is arranged at the inlet of the cooling duct; a shutter, which is mobile, so as to move between a closing position, in which the shutter closes the air intake, and an opening position, in which the shutter leaves the air intake unobstructed; an electric actuating device, which controls the movement of the shutter and, therefore, moves the shutter between the closing position and the opening position, and is mechanically configured to be normally open such that the shutter is pushed toward the opening position in the absence of a power supply; a locking device independent of the actuating device and configured to be activated to mechanically prevent the shutter from moving from the closing position towards the opening position; and a control unit configured to activate the locking device to keep the shutter in the closing position when the road vehicle is turned off and deactivate the locking device to allow movement of the shutter when the road vehicle is turned off.
