Cargo vehicle automation and construction features
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a delivery vehicle having a driver compartment and a cargo compartment. The cargo compartment is located adjacent the driver compartment. An at least one riser extends along at least a portion of the cargo compartment. The at least one riser includes a plurality of holes disposed therein. Each of the plurality of holes disposed in the at least one riser are spaced apart from each other a predetermined distance. A flooring assembly is located in the cargo compartment and supported by the at least one riser. The flooring assembly includes: at least a plurality of floor planks; each floor plank of the at least the plurality of floor planks has a longitudinal extent, a width transverse to the longitudinal extent, a longitudinally extending tongue located at a first end of the width, and a longitudinally extending groove located at a second end of the width opposite the first end of the width; wherein the each floor plank of the at least the plurality of floor planks is fastened to one of the plurality of holes disposed in the at least one riser.
Reinforced trailer chassis and floor
A floor assembly for a trailer includes a pair of longitudinally extending main beams, each having a first height dimension along a first longitudinal portion of the main beam and a second height dimension along a second portion of the main beam. The first height dimension being greater than the second height dimension. Cross members extend in a transverse direction between and connect the main beams. A plurality of floor members extend transversely between the main beams. The floor members including at least some reinforced floor members. The reinforced floor members have upper and lower walls and opposing side walls that define a rectangular cross-section and include a series of truss walls extending angularly between the upper and lower walls. The reinforced floor members are positioned on the upper surfaces of the main beams at least in part at the second height dimension.
Side vehicle body structure of vehicle
A side vehicle body structure ensures rigidity and shock absorption performance of the body, avoids widening of the body, and smooths the flow of exhaust gas. Embodiments include an engine, an exhaust apparatus, and a rear pillar extending upward from a rear-side portion of a side sill extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. The exhaust apparatus is disposed along the vehicle front-rear direction on the vehicle-width-direction outer side relative to the side sill. An exhaust system member is located at a going-around portion, with respect to the rear pillar, from the front side to the rear side and from the outer side to the inner side in the vehicle width direction. The rear pillar has a cross section orthogonal to the vehicle up-down direction having a shape in which a portion between front and rear ends is located on the vehicle-width-direction outer side relative to these front and rear ends.
Vehicle with floor area having perforations
A vehicle floor area may include a body and a floor. The floor may be attached to and positioned at least partially above the body. The floor may comprise floor perforations. A collection receptacle may be supported by the body and positioned at least partially below the floor so that solid waste or liquid waste can fall through the floor perforations onto the collection receptacle. The waste that has fallen onto the collection receptacle may be removed from the collection receptacle.
Vehicle body structure
A vehicle body structure includes a floor tunnel, a cross member, and a bulkhead. The cross member includes a cross member longitudinal wall and a cross member flange. The bulkhead includes a bulkhead longitudinal wall. The bulkhead longitudinal wall and the cross member longitudinal wall are arranged at the same position in a vehicle body front-to-rear direction. The first cross member flange includes a bond part that is bonded to the floor tunnel and a welding part. The welding part is welded to the floor tunnel at a position that is more separated from the cross member longitudinal wall than the bond part.

Blast mat configuration
A vehicle including a frame, a cabin, and a blast mat. The cabin is coupled to the frame and includes a seat and a series of walls. The blast mat has a bottom surface engaging at least one of the walls. The blast mat includes a first portion configured to support a first portion of an occupant seated in the seat and a second portion configured to support a second portion of the occupant. The first portion of the occupant and the second portion of the occupant have different resistances to blast energy. The second portion of the blast mat has a greater thickness than the first portion of the blast mat.
Electric motor vehicle battery support assembly
A battery unit which stores plural battery modules therein is attached to respective lower faces of a pair of floor frames at its both sides. The battery unit comprises an attaching bracket which protrudes substantially horizontally from the battery case and is positioned just below the lower face of the floor frame with a distance therebetween. A specified rigidity ratio is set for an attachment portion of the battery unit to the floor frame, and the attaching bracket is attached to the lower face of the floor frame via an intermediate part such that the above-described rigidity ratio is 0.1 or greater.

Vehicle equipped with battery pack
Provided is a vehicle equipped with a battery pack. A vehicle equipped with a battery pack includes a floor tunnel and a battery pack. The battery pack includes a first battery accessory, a second battery accessory, and an electrical wiring. The first battery accessory is arranged inside a front tunnel portion of the floor tunnel from below. The second battery accessory is arranged inside a rear tunnel portion of the floor tunnel from below. The electrical wiring extends in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body across right and left second floor cross members, and connects the first battery accessory and the second battery accessory.
