Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for multi-position wheel assembly mounts. An example vehicle frame disclosed herein includes apertures adjacent to each of a plurality of wheel assembly locations on the vehicle frame, and a wheel assembly mount at each of the wheel assembly locations, the wheel assembly mount having protrusions extending toward the vehicle frame and positionable in the apertures in a first position to provide a first ride height of the vehicle frame and a second position to provide a second ride height of the vehicle frame, the first ride height less than the second ride height.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for electric motorized wheel assemblies. An example wheel assembly for use with an electric vehicle disclosed herein includes an electric motor, a suspension assembly, and a frame mounting interface to attach the wheel assembly to a frame of the electric vehicle.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative inverter modules that are integratably mountable with a drive unit of a vehicle, illustrative drive units with an inverter module integratably mounted therewith, and illustrative vehicles with at least one drive unit with an inverter module integratably mounted therewith. Given by way of non-limiting example, an illustrative module for a drive unit of a vehicle includes a housing having an open face defined therein. Inverter circuitry is disposed in the housing.

Provided is a structure of the floor of a vehicle having a battery pack mounted on the lower side of the floor, the structure including a floor panel constituting the floor; a floor tunnel extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle on the middle portion of the floor panel; a lower dash panel disposed in front of the floor panel and the floor tunnel; and an electromagnetic wave shielding panel covering a corner where the floor panel, the floor tunnel, and the lower dash panel are connected to each other.

A modular system produces design variants of a housing element for a storage housing of a storage device which has multiple storage cells that can be arranged in a receiving area of the storage housing. At least one universal housing part delimits the receiving area. A design variant-specific first reinforcing element, and a design variant-specific second reinforcing element which differs from the first reinforcing element are provided, wherein the first design variant of the housing element has the housing part and the first reinforcing element, by means of which the housing part is reinforced in the first design variant, and the second design variant of the housing element has the housing part and the second reinforcing element, by means of which the housing part is reinforced in the second design variant.

A floor assembly for an electrically operable motor vehicle includes a vehicle floor, which runs on top of an energy storage device for driving the vehicle, has at least one floor element, and to which a side sill is attached on each outer side. In order to ensure that the energy storage device below the vehicle floor is protected against excessive damage in the event of a crash, in particular a side-impact crash, a first, outer, deformation zone of the floor assembly is provided in the region of the side sills, with the energy storage device being arranged at a distance from the first, outer deformation zone in the transverse direction of the vehicle so as to form a second, inner, deformation zone. The first, outer, deformation zone is deformable under a lower load level than the second, inner, deformation zone.

A battery includes a battery cell and a box. A surface of the battery cell is provided with an electrode terminal. A portion of the box forms an accommodating chamber having an opening. The battery cell is accommodated in the accommodating chamber. The surface of the battery cell is configured to be fixedly connected to a cover covering the opening to fixedly connect the battery cell to the cover.

An installation arrangement is provided for a vehicle having a front motor for driving a front wheel, a rear motor for driving a rear wheel, a high-voltage battery that stores electrical power for the motors, and a low-voltage battery that stores electrical power for various units. The installation arrangement is configured such that an intersection of a longitudinal center line and a lateral center line of the vehicle overlaps the high-voltage battery as seen in a plan view. In the front section of the vehicle, the front motor is arranged on one side of the longitudinal center line, and the internal combustion engine is arranged on the other side of the longitudinal center line. In the rear section of the vehicle, the low-voltage battery is arranged on one side of the longitudinal center line, and the rear motor is arranged on the other side of the longitudinal center line.

A vehicle includes: a floor where an occupant is located during a ride in the vehicle; a high voltage unit located below the floor; a ramp configured to move between an in-use position and a storage position; and an actuator that moves the ramp between the in-use position and the storage position. The ramp includes a distal end that contacts the ground when the ramp is in the in-use position, and a base end located on the opposite side of the ramp from the distal end. When the ramp is in the storage position, the base end of the ramp is adjacent to the actuator in a horizontal direction. A tilted surface tilted upward from the base end of the ramp toward the actuator is located between the base end of the ramp and the actuator.
