Battery Housing
A battery housing is arranged at a vehicle-longitudinal front side of a drive apparatus which transmits drive power to a rear axle of a vehicle. The battery housing encloses a battery for supplying electricity to the drive apparatus. The battery housing has an exterior surface including an air guide surface configured to guide airflow produced by the moving vehicle to the drive apparatus.
Fuel cell vehicle
A fuel cell vehicle according to the present disclosure includes, in a front room: a fuel cell stack fixed to an upper part of a stack frame; a high voltage element fixed to an upper part of the fuel cell stack; and an ion exchanger that is arranged in front of the fuel cell stack and the high voltage element. The stack frame is provided with an inclined part, and when the ion exchanger is displaced rearward at the time of a frontal crash of the fuel cell vehicle, a rear part in a lower end of the ion exchanger is slid along an inclined surface of the inclined part and the ion exchanger is displaced in a diagonally upward direction, whereby the cap part of the ion exchanger is positioned on the upper side in the vertical direction with respect to the high voltage element.
Vehicle front-part structure
A pair of floor-side extensions are provided in the vehicle width direction on the lower surface of at least one of a dash lower panel and a floor panel constituting the floor of a vehicle chamber so as to protrude downward in front of the battery unit front surface with a high voltage cable interposed between the pair of floor-side extension members. A pair of member-side extensions are provided so as to protrude upward at positions facing the pair of floor-side extensions in the vehicle front-and-rear direction on the rear end edge of a suspension member.
Vehicle power unit room structure
A vehicle power unit room structure is provided including a motor that is disposed inside a power unit room and that is configured to transmit drive force to a drive wheel, a compressor that is disposed adjacent to the motor in a vehicle width direction so as to overlap with the motor as viewed along the vehicle width direction, and a power supply section that is configured to supply power supplied from a power source to the motor and the compressor, and that is disposed at a vehicle upper side of the compressor so as to overlap with the compressor as viewed along a vehicle vertical direction.
POWER CONTROL UNIT
A power control unit mounted in a front space of a vehicle and configured to control power input to a power storage device mounted on the vehicle and power output from the power storage device, includes: a housing; and a plurality of electronic components provided in the housing. Further, the plurality of electronic components includes a class-1 component defined as a target required to suppress exposure from the housing and a class-2 component other than the class-1 component, a protrusion is provided on a part of a side surface of the housing so as to protrude beyond the other parts of the side surface, and the class-2 component is disposed adjacent to the protrusion.
ELECTRIC MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MAKING ELECTRICAL CONTACT WITH A WINDING OF AN ELECTRIC MACHINE
An electric machine comprises a rotor and a stator, wherein the stator comprises a stator body which carries at least one respective winding of at least one phase, wherein the winding of the respective phase or at least one of the windings of the respective phase is conductively connected to a respective contact bridge, which connects the respective winding to an associated power source and/or drain, wherein the respective winding and the contact bridge connected to it each end in a conductor section which extends away from the stator body in the axial direction of the electric machine, these conductor sections being conductively connected to one another, wherein a fixing section of the respective contact bridge is arranged stationary with respect to a housing accommodating the stator by being fixed by an insulation element or directly, on the one hand, to the housing itself and/or, on the other hand, to the power source and/or drain, which, in turn, is fixed to the housing.
ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE
An all-terrain vehicle includes a frame, a plurality of ground-engaging members for supporting the frame, an outer body supported by the frame, and a cargo rack pivotably coupled to the outer body. The cargo rack is moveably between a closed position and an opened position and includes a hinge assembly comprising hinge leaves and a removable hinge pin.
VEHICLE CHASSIS PLATFORM
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.
ENERGY STORAGE AND DELIVERY SYSTEM AND ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE ARCHITECTURES WITH MULTI-MODE CONTROLS
The exemplified systems and methods provide fixed and exchangeable energy storage and delivery system in an electrified vehicle architecture with multi-mode controls. The exchangeable energy storage are configured to be optional and ultra-portable. The integration of fixed and exchangeable energy storage provides a vehicle configuration that is further optimized for size, weight, and convenience.
Electric work vehicle
Disclosed is an electric work vehicle that includes a traveling vehicle body, a wheel unit having wheels on the right and left sides of the traveling vehicle body, a motor for supplying rotational drive force to the wheel unit, and a battery for supplying electric power to the motor. The battery includes a first battery disposed at a right/left center of the traveling vehicle body, and second batteries disposed in right/left symmetricity on the traveling vehicle body to act as supplementary batteries.
