Description We generalize the concept of higher order velocity and we interpret a Weil bundle as the space of A-velocities for an arbitrary Weil algebra A. We deduce geometric results on Weilian prolongations of various geometric objects. We characterize every fiber product preserving bundle functor on fibered manifolds in a jet-like manner and discuss some applications.
