A heavy goods vehicle (1) comprises a chassis (2), front wheels (3), a driver cabin (4) having a cabin rear wall (5) mounted on the chassis. Behind the cabin rear wall an area (A) positioned above the chassis is present. On at least one side of it, the heavy goods vehicle has a side panel (6) extending rearwards from behind a first front wheel in the heavy goods vehicle's longitudinal direction and being configured for at least partly delineating laterally a space which is situated under the chassis. The side panel is provided with a side step (7) for allowing access to the area behind the cabin rear wall. The side panel is provided with a fixed elongate element (8) fixedly attached to an upper edge thereof and which extends in longitudinal direction along the upper edge of the side panel. Above the side step the fixed elongate element is absent for creating an access passage to the area behind the cabin rear wall. A moveable skirt (9) is arranged above the side step and is configured to be moved in an active position in which it is flush with and coextends with the fixed elongate element for obstructing the access passage to the area behind the cabin rear wall and in an inactive position in which it clears the passage to the area behind the cabin rear wall.
