A vehicle 1 having a load space 21 and a closure element 7. A device 3 is provided for covering the load space. The device includes a cover 41 which is movable between a retracted position in which the load space is uncovered and a deployed position in which the load space is at least partially covered. The device 3 is mounted to/within the closure element 7. The device 3 may comprise a roller 53 and flexible cover member 41 wound onto the roller 53 when the device 3 is retracted. The cover 41 may be coupled (61L, 61R) to drive means, such as a motor 69, and a control unit may control the drive means 69 to inhibit movement of the cover when a sensor 81 detects an object in the path of the cover 41.
