The invention relates to a device which equips a vehicle that includes a removable container, the device comprising at least one mechanism allowing to clamp the container onto the said vehicle and allowing also to release the container from the said vehicle, by driving a screw or a bolt, screwing to clamp on and unscrewing to unclamp.

An assembly includes a first component having a first threaded opening therein, and a second component having a second component opening therethrough. A bolt assembly secures the second component relative to the first component. The bolt assembly includes a first bolt having a spacer portion and a first threaded shaft extending from the spacer portion to engage the first threaded opening. The first bolt includes an internal thread extending axially from the spacer portion. The bolt assembly further includes a second bolt having a head and a second threaded shaft extending from the head. The second threaded shaft extends through the second component opening to engage the internal thread of the first bolt to secure the second component relative to the first component.

A battery tray for a vehicle includes a peripheral tubular member that borders at least a lateral side of a battery containment area relative to the vehicle. A crush section is attached along an outboard side of the peripheral tubular member. The crush section includes an outboard wall portion, an upper leg portion integrally extending inboard from an upper end of the outboard wall potion, and a lower leg portion integrally extending inboard from a lower end of the outboard wall potion. The upper and lower leg portions of the crush section each terminate inboard at an end flange of the crush section that is attached to the peripheral tubular member to enclose a hollow interior there between.

A vehicle includes a body including a rocker extending in a front and rear direction outside a floor panel in a vehicle width direction, a component located below the floor panel and removably mounted on the body from below, and a rocker molding extending from a location facing an outer side of the rocker in the vehicle width direction to a location facing a lower side of the component. The rocker molding has a side panel facing the outer side of the rocker and a lower panel facing the lower side of the component. The side panel is fixed to the body. The lower panel is removably fixed to the component and swingably connected to the side panel.

A management system of a vehicle battery replacement system has a plurality of battery replacement stations for replacing a depleted battery pack of an electric vehicle with a charged battery pack. Each battery replacement station includes a coordinating device. The management system also has a control system in communication with the coordinating devices of the battery replacement stations and a plurality of client devices. The control system is configured to receive a request for a battery replacement operation from a client device, and select a battery replacement station of the plurality of battery replacement stations for performing the battery replacement operation

A vehicle has a body forming a passenger compartment. The vehicle also has a chassis supporting the body. The chassis includes a frame structure having a pair of side rails connected by a plurality of rigid cross rails and defining a plurality of bays between the cross rails. The vehicle additionally has a battery pack including a plurality of electrical storage devices stored in a battery housing. The battery housing defines a plurality of channels. The vehicle further includes a fastening mechanism attaching the battery housing directly to the plurality of cross rails with at least a portion of the battery housing in the plurality of bays and the plurality of cross rails in the plurality of channels.

The invention provides a powertrain for an electric vehicle, and an electric vehicle as such. The powertrain has an electric motor and a drivetrain for transmitting rotary power from the electric motor to at least one of the vehicle wheels. A mechanical rotary transmission is provided in association with a flywheel. The mechanical rotary transmission is controllable to transmit power in a direction from the vehicle wheels to the flywheel and further transmit power in the reverse direction. Power from both the electric motor and the flywheel is concurrently used to accelerate the vehicle. The vehicle kinetic energy is recovered and stored at the flywheel during vehicle deceleration. The motor vehicle has at least one battery unit to supply the electric motor. The battery unit is removable from the vehicle, without tools, and is portable so that it is carried away from the vehicle for charging.

Disclosed are a movable battery replacing platform (103) and a quick replacing system (100), wherein the movable battery replacing platform (103) comprises: a travel-driving portion (106) used for driving the movable battery replacing platform (103) to move on the ground; a lifting portion (107) mounted on the travel-driving portion (106), for lifting a battery during the replacement of the battery; and a battery mounting portion (108) mounted on the top of the lifting portion (107), for placing a battery to be replaced or a replaced battery, wherein the battery mounting porting (108) is provided with a battery replacing device. The device can use an unlocking device (50) to unlock a battery locked on the bottom of an electric vehicle, automatically aligning an unlocking point of a battery locking mechanism and realizing automatic unlocking in the movement. The whole process is fully automated without manual intervention and can improve battery replacement efficiency. In addition, the angle of an upper board (10) relative to the battery unlocking position can be adjusted by a movement actuating device, so that the unlocking point of the battery can automatically fit where the movable battery replacing platform (103) remains still, so as to further improve unlocking efficiency.

A battery assembly is disclosed that includes a battery housing, a battery array, and one or more cooling plates. The battery housing forms a battery compartment having a width and length greater than a height. The battery array includes a plurality of cylindrical battery cells oriented with an axis perpendicular to the height of the battery compartment. The plurality of cells are organized into a plurality of rows within the battery compartment. The one or more cooling plates oriented perpendicular to the axis of the battery cells and positioned proximal to an end of battery cells within a row of the plurality of rows.
