A vehicle to be driven on a driving surface, comprising an engine cooling system with a grille, a radiator, and a fan. A bottom plate extends along a lower surface of the vehicle for covering the radiator. The bottom plate comprises a movable section coupled to an actuator mechanism for adjusting a ground clearance. The engine cooling system comprises flow guides mounted between the grille and the radiator, and an anti-recirculation cover mounted between the radiator and the bottom plate. The movable section is pivotable around a pivot axis directly downstream of the anti-recirculation cover. A controller is configured to control the actuator mechanism to adjust the ground clearance in dependence of a driving velocity.
