Described herein are methods and systems of a rear axle of a commercial electric vehicle. In various embodiments, the rear axle includes a curved de Dion axle that includes stub axles, CV cups, each configured to receive a portion of a CV axle, and a central portion disposed downward and rearward of the stub axles. The rear axle includes a curved form factor to allow for a portion of an electric drive unit to be disposed in a manner where a hub centerline connecting the stub axles intersects the electric drive unit.

A recreational off-highway vehicle includes side-by-side passenger and driver seats held within a chassis. The seats sit low in the chassis and are covered by a roll cage. Grab handles are positioned on the sides of the passenger seat. Select large round tubing protects the vehicle, while rectangular tubing frames the portions of the vehicle beneath body panels. The vehicle is powered by an engine rearward of the seats that is connected to a transaxle. A radiator is positioned above the engine. A cover with an access panel is situated between the engine and the passenger seats. The vehicle is suited for rough terrain travel.

A lighting device includes a light guide having a light output surface, one or more LED packages having two or more spatially separated LED chips, and two or more wavelength dependent modification features located on the output surface of the light guide. Each wavelength dependent modification features is configured to modify the intensity of light from one or more of the LED chips to provide homogeneous colored light.

The present disclosure provides a suspension system, and a chassis with the same. The system includes: a fixing frame having an opening; a suspension frame disposed at the opening; and a driving wheel rotationally coupled to the suspension frame. In which, two ends of the suspension frame are respectively disposed on two ends of the fixing frame at the two sides of the opening to be selectively moved up and down along a height direction of the fixing frame, and two elastic members are respectively disposed between each of the two ends of the suspension frame and the corresponding end of the fixing frame at the two sides of the opening. In the present disclosure, the fixing frame and the suspension frame can move with respect to each other in a vertical direction, and the resetting adjustment is realized through the elastic member.

A drill rig with a steering system may include a substructure having a wheelhouse, a drill floor arranged atop the substructure, a mast extending upwardly and above the drill floor, and a steering system arranged within the wheelhouse. The steering system may include a wheel assembly comprising an electric motor configured for driving rotational motion of a wheel, a deployment device configuring for deploying the wheel assembly to carry the drill rig, and a steering mechanism configured for selective engagement with the wheel assembly and rotating the wheel assembly.

Provided is a moving body capable of transmitting driving force of a drive unit to a spherical wheel without a separation between the spherical wheel and the drive unit even in the case where the moving body receives impact due to the road surface condition or the like. The moving body (10) is a self-sustained mobile robot. The moving body (10) includes a spherical wheel (21), a drive unit (22) which is in contact with the spherical wheel (21) to give a rotational driving force to the spherical wheel (21), a support (31) which supports the drive unit (22), and a biasing mechanism (41) which is suspended from the support (31) and abuts on the spherical wheel (21) to bias the spherical wheel (21) in a direction toward the support (31).
