With two full doors, with two full doors and with two smaller rear doors, or four full doors. It takes less compressed clean air to drive the DC alternators or DC generators from the compressed clean air engine. Also, the vehicle does drive 100% electric. A combination 100% electric and 100% compressed clean air system. No other vehicle has this kind of system.

A work vehicle according to the present disclosure includes a seat frame 33. A body frame includes a first frame section 21, a second frame section 22 extending upward from a rear portion of the first frame section 21, and a third frame section 23 extending rearward from an upper portion of the second frame section 22. An up-down section 33a of the seat frame 33 is attachable to the first frame section 21 and removable therefrom, and a front-rear section 33b of the seat frame 33 is attachable to the second frame section 22 or the third frame section 23 and removable therefrom. A battery 42 is between the up-down section 33a and the second frame section 22 and between the front-rear section 33b and the first frame section 21.

A work vehicle according to the present invention includes a driver section 4 including a seat 6, 7; a battery support section 32 in which the battery 42 is mountable and from which the battery is removable, wherein moving the battery 42 from left or right of the battery support section 32 in a left-right direction A1 allows the battery 42 to be mounted in the battery support section 32, and moving the battery 42 from the battery support section 32 to the left or right of the battery support section 32 in the left-right direction A1 allows the battery 42 to be removed from the battery support section 32.

A work vehicle includes a driver section 4 including a seat 6 and disposed in a side view between a front travel device 1 and a rear travel device 2; a first battery support section 31 under the seat 6, a first battery 41 is mountable in the first battery support section 31; and a second battery support section 32 between the driver section 4 and the rear travel device 2 in a side view, a second battery 42 is mountable in and removable from the second battery support section 32.

A battery assembly for an electric vehicle is provided that has a housing, one or more battery units, and a mounting system. The housing includes a concave shell extending from an upper portion of the housing toward a bottom portion of the housing. The concave shell is disposed around an internal space. A cover is coupled with an edge of the concave shell. The one or more battery units are disposed within the internal space of the housing. The mounting system is for connecting the battery assembly to a vehicle frame.

The wheel assembly includes an arm 51, a wheel 55, a power supply port 60, an electric motor 56 coupled to the wheel 55, and a motor controller 62 for controlling rotation of the electric motor 56. The method of controlling the motion of a motorized object includes defining a target position, sensing a current position of the motorized object and using an output from a processor to control the electric motors to drive the object toward the target position. The golf club storage and transport device 70 includes a body 71 for storing golf clubs and a pair of releasable wheels 75. The device 70 has an assembled configuration and a disassembled configuration.

An embodiment is directed to a battery module mounting area of an energy storage system. The battery module mounting area includes a first set of battery module compartments arranged along a first longitudinal side of the battery module mounting area, and a second set of battery module compartments arranged along a second longitudinal side of the battery module mounting area. Each battery module compartment in the first and second sets of battery module compartments includes an insertion-side through which a battery module is configured to be inserted into the battery module compartment and/or removed from the battery module compartment. The insertion-side of each battery module compartment in the first and second sets of battery module compartments is configured to be closed via an insertion-side cover to form a battery housing with a closed compartment profile that is characterized by each battery module compartment being sealed from at least one other battery module compartment in the battery housing.

The invention relates to an electrically powered industrial truck, in particular a narrow aisle forklift truck, comprising a battery box for housing a battery block, which box is open on at least one side for removing the battery block in the width direction of the vehicle and comprises on its top face a strut extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and at least one locking device for the battery block housed in a battery box, wherein the at least one locking device comprises a mount associated with the strut, a pivot shaft, which extends above the battery box in the width direction of the industrial truck and is pivotally held by the mount, and a pivot lever, which is carried by the pivot shaft and is pivotable between a locking position and a releasing position, wherein the pivot lever is designed, when in its locking position, to support the battery block in the width direction of the vehicle and, when in its releasing position, to release the battery block in the width direction of the vehicle.

In an embodiment, a motor guidance component is configured to guide a dislodged electric motor away from one or more protected areas of the electric vehicle in response to crash forces. In a further embodiment, the motor guidance component may be configured to guide the one dislodged electric motor in an upwards direction (e.g., above the one or more protected areas) or in a downwards direction (e.g., below the one or more protected areas).
