Narrative:
On taxi-in at ord; just east of gate there was a vehicle crossing taxiway B and a. We were taxiing north on taxiway B. Upon reaching this vehicle crossing; there was a tow truck proceeding across taxiway B. Air carrier tug; vehicle #X was behind the tow truck and it appeared they were not going to stop. I advised the captain of the approaching vehicle; he proceeded to come to a complete stop. The driver of the vehicle looked directly at us; but continued across the taxiway. Had the captain not stopped the aircraft; a collision would have occurred. Ord ground control was advised of the encounter.I believe the tug operator saw the tow-truck proceeding across the taxi-way and followed in suit. Ground vehicle operators are looking for very large aircraft; not small aircraft like ours at ord. This particular vehicle crossing has proven to be very dangerous.
