An electric vehicle includes a switching unit which is capable of performing switching between a permission state in which an electric motor is permitted to operate and an inhibiting state in which the electric motor is inhibited from operating. An assembling management system of the electric vehicle includes an information obtaining section which obtains set information set in a vehicle body or a battery and transmits the obtained set information to a determiner section which determines whether or not the electric motor is permitted to operate based on the set information, and an output section which receives a result of determination from the determiner section, and outputs an electric signal indicating which of a permission state and an inhibiting state should be set in the switching unit.

The present invention refers to a battery bank supply and replacement system in an electric vehicle, particularly for an electric vehicle used for the distribution of commercial goods. The system of the present invention comprises a battery bank mounted in a metal structure that is structurally coupled to a metal mounting structure arranged on the electric vehicle and a handling device consisting of a movable base. The movable base is aligned and secured to the metal mounting structure of the vehicle for removal of the battery bank from the vehicle towards the handling device or the other way round.

The present application disclose a battery box transferring device, including: a translation mechanism configured to move a battery box in a first direction and/or a second direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction; a rotating mechanism arranged on the translation mechanism, the rotating mechanism comprising: a first rotating assembly and a second rotating assembly, wherein the first rotating assembly is configured to rotate the battery box about the first direction as an axis, and the second rotating assembly is configured to rotate the battery box about the second direction as an axis; and a battery box moving mechanism arranged on the rotating mechanism, the battery box moving mechanism being configured to pull the battery box into or push the battery box out of the battery box transferring device. The battery box transferring device can effectively move the battery box on various site conditions while effectively saving manpower.

In an embodiment, a battery housing arrangement integrated into a vehicle floor of an electric vehicle includes a BJB housing including a BJB configured to be electrically coupled to each of a plurality of battery modules in a battery housing upon installation of the plurality of battery modules into the battery housing. The BJB housing is positioned between at least one center structural support bar and one or more vehicle chassis bars, and is configured to protect the plurality of battery modules in the battery housing from crash forces by directing crash forces from the one or more vehicle chassis bars to the at least one center structural support bar.

A transport vehicle for containers, in particular a floor-bound and driverless heavy-load transport vehicle for ISO containers, has a platform for receiving at least one container to be transported, with the platform being delimited by guide elements for guiding a container when being deposited on the platform, and includes a drive unit and a battery module for supplying electric energy to the drive unit. The battery module has a support frame and a battery, with there being at least one air conditioner device arranged in the support frame together with the battery.

A total task vehicle (TTV) may operate indoors to move a variety of different types of materials and accomplish a variety of different types of tasks, using tools and accessories powered by/connected to the TTV. One or more high power density (HD) battery packs may provide both 240V DC to 380V DC and 120V AC power to propel the TTV and also to function as a generator for tools and accessories attached to the TTV. A high torque/high speed convertible drive system may allow the TTV to operate in a ride-on mode, a walk-behind mode, providing for flexibility and adaptability in use of the TTV.

This piece of machinery (1) comprises a system for lifting people or loads (5) and a first stand-alone electrical power source that is used to make the piece of machinery function. A second location (8) allows an optional second stand-alone electrical power source (15) to be removably accommodated. The latter is selectable from a plurality of different second sources not exclusively made up of engine generators and not exclusively made up of devices for storing electrical power. It for example allows the first stand-alone electrical power source to be recharged or the piece of machinery to be powered together therewith. The piece of machinery comprises a system for identifying the second stand-alone electrical power source among the plurality of second sources accommodated in the second location (8). On-board electronics manage the delivery of electrical power to the piece of machinery by the second source depending on the second source identified.

A solar-powered vehicle that includes a body having a front end, rear end, top and opposing sides; two or more wheels; and a first and second solar panel assembly respectively disposed on the opposing sides of the body including a first side and a second side.

A fastening arrangement for attaching a battery pack to a vehicle frame of a vehicle. The fastening arrangement comprises one or more main brackets arranged attachable to the vehicle frame, each main bracket comprising a receiving member arranged to hangably support a corresponding mounting element. The fastening arrangement also comprises one or more of the mounting elements configured attachable to the battery pack. The fastening arrangement further comprises one or more mounting straps arranged to press the battery pack against the one or more main brackets.
