Claim:
A cab for a motor-driven tractor vehicle, comprising a body that has a rear body wall and side walls that are provided with side panels that form an extension of at least a part of each side wall in a backward direction to a plane at a distance from the rear body wall and that are arranged to bridge an air space between the rear body wall and a front wall of a connected trailer in order to deflect wind from the space between the rear body wall of the cab and the front wall of the trailer while the vehicle is being driven, with at least the front edge of one side panel being attached to the rear edge of the associated side wall in such a way that it can pivot, in order to enable it to be swung between a backward-directed position and a sideways-directed position, wherein, the pivoting side panel has a step arrangement on a side that faces inwards towards the space when in the backward-directed position, which step arrangement can move between an upper storage position, in which it is at least substantially concealed behind the side panel, and an in-use position, in which it has a part with steps located below a lower edge of the side panel.
