An assembly for releasably engaging an upper vehicle part with a base vehicle part comprises the upper vehicle part, the base vehicle part and a securing assembly for ensuring that the upper vehicle part is secured to the base vehicle part in an operational state of the vehicle. The securing assembly comprises an inter-connecting member adapted to extend from the upper vehicle part to the base vehicle part in said operational state, said inter-connecting member having a body portion and a projecting portion defining an abutment surface. The securing assembly further comprises a releasable fixation support having a recess adapted to accommodate a part of the body portion wherein another part of the releasable fixation support is capable of restricting displacement of said inter-connecting member in a direction towards said upper part vehicle by engaging with said abutment surface of said projecting portion in said operational state.

An electric truck includes a battery pack assembly with a battery pack mounting structure and at least one battery pack. The battery pack includes a box shaped outer housing and a battery unit arranged inside and supported by the outer housing. The battery pack mounting structure for each battery pack includes a first and a second cantilever attached to a chassis of the electric truck, the first and second cantilever extending in transversal direction and being in the longitudinal direction spaced a distance apart from each other. Further, the battery pack is interconnected to the first and the second cantilever during operation in a floating manner allowing a torsional movement of the chassis around the longitudinal direction.

A facility provides an infrastructure service to a vehicle including a first unit that includes a driving wheel and a second unit that has a vehicle cabin space and is separable from the first unit. The facility includes a connection unit that connects to the second unit and a provision unit that provides the infrastructure service to the second unit when the connection unit is connected to the second unit.

A vehicle frame component for limiting the movement of the wheel of the vehicle toward the cab of a cab on frame vehicle including a base member welded to openings in the frame side rail and extending outwardly and located proximal the wheel structure. In one embodiment the vehicle frame component is located forward of the wheel and includes a tire puncture device to deflate the tire during an offset front impact and in a second embodiment the vehicle frame component is located rearward of the wheel. The vehicle frame component has particular utility during an offset front impact where the offset is less than approximately twenty-five percent (25%) of the width of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a frame rail, a crossbeam resting atop the frame rail, a deck panel resting atop the crossbeam, an adaptor resting inside the crossbeam, and a fastener extending from atop the adaptor to the frame rail through the adaptor and the crossbeam. The deck panel includes an aperture and a bordering area around the aperture. The adaptor rises through the aperture and overtop the bordering area. The fastener overhangs the bordering area and is engaged with the adaptor overtop the bordering area, and is secured to the frame rail. The fastener thereby secures the adaptor to the frame rail against the crossbeam without tightening against the deck panel at the bordering area.
