A vehicle comprising: an occupant cabin ; a retractable roof configured to move between a deployed configuration where the roof covers the occupant cabin and a retracted configuration; a housing configured to house the retractable roof when the roof is in the retracted configuration; a moveable cover configured to close the housing and move between a closed configuration where the moveable cover closes the housing and an open configuration to permit the retractable roof to move between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration; a first electric motor and a third electric motor coupled to the retractable roof to be capable of imparting motion to the retractable roof separately to the moveable cover so that, when the first electric motor and the third electric motor are activated, the first electric motor and the third electric motor cause the retractable roof to move between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration; a second electric motor and a fourth electric motor coupled to the moveable cover to be capable of imparting motion to the moveable cover separately to the retractable roof so that, when the second electric motor and the fourth electric motor are activated, the second electric motor and the fourth electric motor cause the moveable cover to move between the closed configuration and the open configuration; and a control unit configured to control the activation of the first, second, third and fourth electric motors by supplying power to each of the electric motors, which directly activates the electric motors so that, during the movement of the retractable roof between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration, the moveable cover moves partially simultaneously, with the retractable roof, between the closed configuration and open configuration. an occupant cabin ; a retractable roof configured to move between a deployed configuration where the roof covers the occupant cabin and a retracted configuration; a housing configured to house the retractable roof when the roof is in the retracted configuration; a moveable cover configured to close the housing and move between a closed configuration where the moveable cover closes the housing and an open configuration to permit the retractable roof to move between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration; a first electric motor and a third electric motor coupled to the retractable roof to be capable of imparting motion to the retractable roof separately to the moveable cover so that, when the first electric motor and the third electric motor are activated, the first electric motor and the third electric motor cause the retractable roof to move between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration; a second electric motor and a fourth electric motor coupled to the moveable cover to be capable of imparting motion to the moveable cover separately to the retractable roof so that, when the second electric motor and the fourth electric motor are activated, the second electric motor and the fourth electric motor cause the moveable cover to move between the closed configuration and the open configuration; and a control unit configured to control the activation of the first, second, third and fourth electric motors by supplying power to each of the electric motors, which directly activates the electric motors so that, during the movement of the retractable roof between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration, the moveable cover moves partially simultaneously, with the retractable roof, between the closed configuration and open configuration. <EOS>
