In an embodiment, a battery module compartment chamber is configured for deployment with one or more other battery module compartment chambers within a battery module mounting area of an energy storage system. The battery module compartment chamber includes exterior walls and at least one interior firewall that define multiple battery module compartments into which battery modules may be inserted and/or removed. Each battery module compartment includes an insertion-side configured to be closed via a respective insertion-side cover to seal the respective battery module compartment. In a further embodiment, the battery module compartment may be stacked longitudinally with one or more other battery module compartment chambers to form a battery module mounting area. A type of the battery module compartment chamber and/or a number of longitudinally stacked battery module compartment chambers may be selected to satisfy a size requirement for the battery module mounting area.

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.

In an embodiment, a battery module compartment is configured for deployment with one or more other battery module compartments within a battery module mounting area of an energy storage system. The battery module compartment includes aa plurality of walls defining an interior space configured to fit a battery module, and an insertion-side through which the battery module is configured to be inserted or removed. The insertion-side is configured to be closed via an insertion-side cover to form part of a battery housing with a closed compartment profile that is characterized by the battery module compartment being sealed from at least one other battery module compartment in the battery housing. In another embodiment

An electric work vehicle includes a battery container provided in a traveling vehicle body and including a guiding unit, and a battery pack removably attached to the battery container and including a guided unit. A pair of rollers are provided in one of the guiding unit and the guided unit, and a pair of engaging portion to be engaged with the rollers are provided in the other of the guiding unit and the guided unit. When the battery pack is loaded or unloaded onto/from the battery container at the loading/unloading position, the rollers engage with the engaging portions, thereby functioning as pivot fulcrums for enabling the battery pack to pivot for loading and unloading.

Device for battery replacement in a vehicle with a storage space for a battery, which device includes a battery transporting device which is installed at least partly above ground and which is associated with a width direction and a horizontal depth direction which is perpendicular to the width direction, wherein the device is arranged to sense a position of the storage space. The transporting device includes a first pushing device and a second pushing device, which first pushing device displaces the second pushing device and which second pushing device supports the battery, the first pushing device is displaceable in the depth direction, and the second pushing device, in relation to the first pushing device, is both displaceable in the width direction and pivotable in relation to the supporting plane of the first pushing device. Also disclosed is a method for battery replacement using such a device.

A vehicle includes a chassis including a frame rail extending longitudinally, a tractive element coupled to the chassis, an electric motor coupled to the chassis, a shaft coupling the electric motor to the tractive element such that the electric motor is configured to drive the tractive element to propel the vehicle, the shaft extending longitudinally, and a water pump configured to provide a flow of water in response to receiving mechanical energy provided by the electric motor.

A floor module is provided for installation in the rear area of a motor vehicle. A rear area of the floor module facing the tail of the vehicle includes a first plastic composition, and a front area facing away from the tail includes a second plastic composition, wherein the first plastic composition imparts a higher elastic deformability to the rear area than to the front area.

An electrified vehicle includes a chassis, a front axle, a rear axle, a vehicle component including at least one of a pump, a compressor, or an alternator, an energy storage device including a plurality of batteries, and an electromagnetic device coupled to both (a) at least one of the front axle or the rear axle and (b) the vehicle component. The electromagnetic device is powered by the energy storage device and configured to selectively provide a mechanical output to (i) the at least one of the front axle or the rear axle and (ii) the vehicle component.

A floor module is provided for installation in the rear area of a motor vehicle. A rear area of the floor module facing the tail of the vehicle includes a first plastic composition, and a front area facing away from the tail includes a second plastic composition, wherein the first plastic composition imparts a higher elastic deformability to the rear area than to the front area.

Disclosed is a mounting platform, comprising: a tray and a fixed plate, the tray is used for carrying a battery, and the tray is provided on the fixed plate and can move horizontally in a first direction relative to the fixed plate; a first guide fork is provided on one side of the fixed plate and the first guide fork can move horizontally in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a second guide fork is provided on one side of the tray, and the second guide fork can move horizontally in the second direction. Further provided is a control method, which is used for controlling the mounting platform above. The mounting platform can fit various models of vehicle batteries by providing the first guide fork and the second guide fork which can move in the second direction, thereby achieving universality of a battery replacement station.
