An electric work vehicle includes a battery, a motor positioned under the battery and drivable on electric power supplied by the battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, an inverter positioned under the battery and forward of the motor to convert direct-current electric power from the battery into alternating-current electric power and supply the alternating-current electric power to the motor, and a transmission positioned backward of the battery to transmit a driving force of the motor to the travel device, wherein the motor and the inverter are arranged in a front-back direction of a machine body.

An electric work vehicle includes a driver section that an operator is able to enter, a battery positioned forward of the driver section, a motor drivable on electric power supplied by the battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, a cover including an accommodation space inside and capable of being opened and closed, wherein the battery includes an electricity storage to store electric power and a battery cover hermetically accommodating the electricity storage, and the battery cover includes an outer wall surface defining a portion of an exterior of the electric work vehicle.

An electric work vehicle includes a travel battery, an auxiliary battery, a motor drivable on electric power supplied by the travel battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, a voltage converter positioned forward of the travel battery to step down a voltage of electric power from the travel battery and supply the electric power to the auxiliary battery, and a radiator positioned forward of the travel battery, wherein the voltage converter and the radiator are laterally next to each other in a plan view.

An electric work vehicle includes a work device, a battery, a motor drivable on electric power supplied by the battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, and a hydraulic pump positioned next to the motor and drivable by the motor to supply operating fluid to an operating mechanism of the work device.

This disclosure is directed to supercapacitor systems for supporting relatively high power transient electrical loads within vehicles. An exemplary supercapacitor system includes a mounting assembly and a supercapacitor housed within the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly may be employed to mount the supercapacitor system within a vehicle, such as within a cowl assembly or cargo space of the vehicle. The mounting assembly may include multiple panels. At least one of the multiple panels may be made of a thermally conductive polymer, and at least one other panel of the multiple panels may be made of a polymer that is reinforced by a structural foam.

An electrical component module is installed in a front section of a vehicle, and connected with a battery unit storing electricity for driving the vehicle. The electrical component module is supported by a vehicle body structure member (cross-member) extending in a lateral direction of the vehicle. The cross-member is closer to a passenger compartment than the electrical component module, and doesn't overlap with the electrical component module when viewed along any horizontal direction perpendicular to a vertical direction of the vehicle. Between the cross-member and the electrical component module, provided is a release mechanism for releasing the support of the electrical component module by the cross-member when receiving an impact from an opposite side to the passenger compartment.

The present disclosure includes: a cowl member that is formed to extend in a vehicle width direction and bulges to the front from a rear side of a motor chamber; a power unit that is fixed to a right side frame in the motor chamber, has a lower portion fixed to a vehicle body, and drives the vehicle by electricity; and a protection bracket provided on an upper surface of the power unit, wherein the protection bracket is configured to abut the cowl member in the case where a frontal collision of a vehicle occurs and the power unit moves downward to the rear.

A zero emissions electrically powered haul truck is disclosed. The haul truck has a 40 metric ton hauling capacity and a form factor that allows the truck to travel through underground mines. The truck also includes a primary battery assembly that is externally mounted along the front and sides of the truck.

In one aspect, an electric work vehicle includes a chassis extending in a longitudinal direction between a first end and an opposed second end, and a cab supported between the first and second ends of the chassis. The work vehicle also includes a work implement assembly positioned at the first end or the second end, and a storage compartment defining a storage volume extending in the longitudinal direction between the cab and the first end or the second end. Moreover, the electric work vehicle includes a battery module positioned within the storage compartment, and a drivetrain including an electric traction motor positioned within the storage compartment and configured to be operated via power supplied from the battery module. The electric traction motor is coupled to a transmission of the drivetrain to allow torque to be transferred from the traction motor to corresponding traction devices of the electric work vehicle.
