A work vehicle including a tank (31,131) formed so as to extend from a rear part of a vehicle body toward a center, wherein the tank includes: a first storage tank (32) located on the rear side of the vehicle body, and stores stored fluid (9); a second storage tank (34) located on a side close to the center in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and stores the fluid; a partition part (36) that separates the first storage tank and the second storage tank; a discharge member (49) that has a discharge opening (49a) extending and opened inside the second storage tank, and discharges, from the second storage tank, the fluid stored in the second storage tank; and a hollow tube member (60) that has a first end communicated with the first storage tank through the partition part so as to enable the stored fluid to flow, and a second end having a hollow tube opening (62) extending and opened toward the center of the vehicle body inside the second storage tank, wherein the hollow tube opening of the hollow tube member is located on the central side of the vehicle body with respect to the discharge opening of the discharge member.

Presented are battery assemblies with integrated fuel tanks, methods for making/using such battery assemblies, and fuel cell electric vehicles having rechargeable traction battery packs with integrated fiber-composite hydrogen fuel tanks. A rechargeable energy storage system (RESS) assembly includes a battery pack housing with an internal battery module compartment located between two tank mounting cavities. Each mounting cavity is recessed into a respective lateral side of the battery pack housing. Multiple rechargeable battery modules are electrically interconnected with one another and mounted inside the battery module compartment. Each battery module contains multiple battery cells, such as a stack of series-connected lithium-ion pouch cells. A fuel tank is mounted in each of the tank mounting cavities on the lateral sides of the battery pack housing. Each fuel tank, which may be fabricated from a carbon fiber reinforced polymer, stores and selectively dispenses a fuel, such as a hydrogen-rich, compressed gas fuel.

A fuel storage and delivery system for a refrigerated cargo vehicle. The system includes a first fuel tank for storing natural gas and a second fuel tank for storing natural gas, at least the first fuel tank is for storing the natural gas as liquefied natural gas (LNG); a vehicle fuel supply line fluidly connected to the first fuel tank for supplying fuel from the first fuel tank to a vehicle engine; and a refrigeration unit fuel supply line fluidly connected to the second fuel tank for supplying fuel from the second fuel tank to a transport refrigeration unit engine.

A work vehicle including: a drive device that has an internal combustion engine for driving a vehicle body; a first tank for storing fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine; and a second tank for storing fuel to be supplied to the internal combustion engine; wherein the first tank is disposed in front of or behind the drive device, and the second tank is disposed below the drive device so as to be separated from the first tank by a predetermined distance.

In a fuel cell vehicle, an occupant room is disposed at a front part of a vehicle body frame, and a rear side of the occupant room of the vehicle body frame is a load mount part. A hydrogen handling device is supported at least by the load mount part. The fuel cell vehicle includes a cover room that surrounds at least an upper part and a side part of the hydrogen handling device that is supported by the load mount part. A load room is disposed on the load mount part of the vehicle body frame. A discharge duct that discharges a hydrogen gas in the cover room upward from between the load room and the occupant room is connected to the cover room.

A mounting system for a machine includes a tank support structure adapted to mount tanks proximate to an operator cabin of the machine, a first mounting bracket fixedly coupled to the tank support structure, and a second mounting bracket adapted to be removably coupled to the first mounting bracket. The tank support structure defines a hollow space. The tanks are received within the hollow space. The tank support structure includes a first surface and a second surface spaced apart from the first surface. The hollow space is defined between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface is configured to be coupled to a portion of the machine for mounting the tank support structure on the machine. The first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket are adapted to receive a section of the tanks for retaining the tanks within the tank support structure.
