A vehicle chassis platform including: a frame having a front frame end, a rear frame end, a longitudinal frame axis, an upper frame surface, a bottom frame surface, a first longitudinal lateral frame surface and a second longitudinal lateral frame surface, wherein the upper frame surface is substantially flat; and two or more mechanical connection assemblies each coupled to one of the first and second longitudinal lateral surfaces, each of mechanical connection assemblies to couple a vehicle corner module (VCM) to the frame and to transfer mechanical loads between the frame and the VCM when the VCM is coupled to the frame.

In accordance with the disclosure provision is made for a vehicle. The vehicle is characterized in that a vehicle chassis of this vehicle includes a roughly tubular frame, a gearbox housing and underbody paneling. The frame, the gearbox housing and the underbody paneling are connected in such a manner that they form the vehicle chassis and hence a load-bearing frame for engine, bodywork and/or payload.

The present invention relates to a sandwich plate element connection system (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), comprising two sandwich plate elements (100) and a connection element (200, 400, 500, 600, 700) connecting said two sandwich plate elements (100) by means of an adhesive joint (250) and defining two recesses (210, 220, 410, 420, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640). The connection element (200, 400, 500, 600, 700) comprises a first part (200:1, 400:1, 500:1, 600:1, 700:1) and a second part (200:2, 400:2, 500:2, 600:2, 700:2) connected to each other by a snap fit joint (270, 470, 570, 670, 770), for formation of at least one of said two recesses (210, 220, 410, 420, 510, 520, 530, 610, 620, 630, 640). The adhesive joint (250) comprises an adhesive (260). A chassis (10) for a vehicle comprising a sandwich plate element connection system (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and a method (20) for connecting two sandwich plate elements (100) are also provided.

A single-wheel drive component for a motor vehicle, having a drive assembly and a wheel carrier, on which a wheel hub, which can be driven by the drive assembly, is rotatably mounted by a wheel bearing. At least one assembly support for mounting the drive assembly on a body of the motor vehicle originates from the drive assembly. It is provided in this case that an assembly bearing for elastic mounting of the drive assembly on the body is arranged on the assembly support. At least one control arm is articulated on the wheel bearing on one side and on the assembly support on the other side, in order to mount the wheel carrier.

A catalytic converter guard for protecting a catalytic converter on a motor vehicle. The catalytic converter guard can include a set of mounting flanges, an input guard plate, an output guard plate, and a bottom plate coupled to the set of mounting flanges and the input and output guard plates. The set of mounting flanges can be configured to be coupled to a set of frame rails of a motor vehicle. The input guard plate can be configured to be positioned adjacent an input of at least one catalytic converter and can include at least one cutout shaped to permit at least one input exhaust pipe to pass therethrough. The output guard plate can be configured to be positioned adjacent an output of the at least one catalytic converter and can include at least one cutout shaped to permit at least one output exhaust pipe to pass therethrough.

A modular transportation system to transport one or more persons and/or objects. The system may include a pod with wall segments that mount together to form an interior space to house the one or more persons and/or objects. The wall segments are modular and configured to connect together in a variety of different configurations to selectively configure the interior space. Vehicles are each configured to individually connect to the pod and to transport the pod from a first location to a second location. At least one of the vehicles is configured to transport the pod by land and at least one of the vehicles is configured to transport the pod by air.

Provided are a vehicle chassis and a vehicle, which are related to a field of vehicle technology, in particular to fields of automatic driving technology and driving test technology. The vehicle chassis includes: a chassis support, a steering system, an electrical system, a driving system, and two brake systems. The chassis support is provided with a steering system mounting site, an electrical system mounting site, a driving system mounting site, and two brake system mounting sites; which are arranged in sequence along a length direction of the vehicle chassis. A first brake system mounting site is disposed between the steering system mounting site and the electrical system mounting site; and a second brake system mounting site is disposed between the driving system mounting site and the electrical system mounting site. The two brake systems, the driving system and the steering system are communicatively connected to the electrical system.
