The present disclosure discloses a trunnion mount for mounting an engine, in particular a combustion engine, to a chassis, comprising a support element rigidly connected and/or connectable to the engine having a ring portion with an outer bearing surface, which may be arranged concentrically around the crankshaft; a female support having an inner bearing surface for surrounding the bearing surface of the support element, the female support forming the link between the chassis and the engine; and a rubber bearing arranged between the inner bearing surface of the female support and the outer bearing surface of the support element. In one or more examples, the trunnion mount includes a rubber bearing that is directly vulcanized on at least one of the bearing surfaces and/or wherein the ring portion is formed as a separate element from a mounting portion of the support element and connectable thereto via axial screws.

The present invention is in the form of a body (111) adapted to be fitted to a truck having at least two axles. The body is capable of tipping once fitted to the truck. The body comprises two side surfaces (13) interconnected by a longitudinal surface (21) to keep the side surfaces in spaced apart relation. The longitudinal surface and the side surface define a cavity (30) for receiving a payload. The longitudinal surface is configured such that the payload is self-centering as the body is loaded, such that in operation the distribution of load on each of the at least two axles remain substantially the same between a first payload having a first volume and a second payload having a second volume, neither payload resulting in the gross vehicle weight limit being exceeded.

The present disclosure relates to a frame structure for a vehicle comprising a front wheel suspension arrangement for suspending a pair of front wheels of the vehicle and a rear wheel suspension arrangement for suspending a pair of rear wheels of the vehicle, wherein the frame structure comprises a load bearing frame arrangement arranged to be positioned at a transversal center portion of the vehicle, the load bearing frame arrangement comprising a first member and a second member, each of the first and second members forming a diagonal extension as seen in a transversal cross section of the load bearing frame arrangement, wherein the diagonal first and second members extend longitudinally between the front wheel suspension arrangement and the rear wheel suspension arrangement, wherein the diagonal extension of the first member interconnects with the diagonal extension of the second member forming a connection point between the first and second members.

A truck frame includes: a first side rail including a first web, a first top flange formed on a top end of the first web, and a first bottom flange formed on a bottom end of the first web; a second side rail spaced apart from the first side rail to face the first side rail, and including a second web, a second top flange formed on a top end of the second web, and a second bottom flange formed on a bottom end of the second web; a reinforcing structure connecting the first top flange of the first side rail and the second top flange of the second side rail, and connecting the first bottom flange of the first side rail and the second bottom flange of the second side rail; and a component mounting space defined by the reinforcing structure between the first web of the first side rail and the second web of the second side rail.

A transmission for vehicles with hybrid propulsion systems. In particular agricultural or industrial vehicles, wherein the propulsion system comprises a motor of the non-regenerative type, a motor of the regenerative type which is associated with an energy accumulator and with a generator. The transmission includes an input shaft which is connected to the motor of the non-regenerative type and to which the generator is connected, a low-speed shaft and a high-speed shaft which can be selectively coupled to the input shaft by respective clutches, a movement combination device, an output shaft which is connected to the movement combination mechanism, and a blocking element which is configured to block the low-speed shaft or the high-speed shaft.

Disclosed is a modular transmission platform for a vehicle. The modular transmission platform comprises a first transmission shaft with at least one input shaft configured to be connected to at least one propulsion unit, a second transmission shaft rotatably connected to the first transmission shaft via a first transmission unit, and a third transmission shaft with a first output shaft configured to be connected to a propeller shaft. The third transmission shaft is rotatably connected to the second transmission shaft via a second transmission unit. The modular transmission platform comprises at least one second output shaft, configured for providing torque to equipment connected to the at least one second output shaft. The at least one input shaft and the first output shaft extend from the modular transmission platform in the same direction.

An electric truck frame of an electric truck driven by electric power supplied from a battery includes a pair of side rails supporting a cab that are coupled by a plurality of cross members. The battery is disposed between the pair of side rails at a rear side of the cab. The pair of side rails include a plurality of elastic support sections that elastically support both ends of the battery in an electric truck width direction in a battery region in which the battery is disposed between the pair of side rails. The plurality of cross members are prohibited from being placed in the battery region.

A platform to replace under-the-hood engine assembly of a conventional internal combustion engine vehicle. The platform includes a backbone frame and a tower frame secured to the backbone frame towards a vehicle front. The backbone frame and the tower frame are secured to chassis frame of the vehicle through a three point isolator mounting system. A plurality of electric drive components, such as battery radiators, electric-axle and high-voltage accessories cooling system radiator, air conditioning condenser, cooling fans, brake retarder, DC-DC voltage converter(s), HVAC compressor, inverter(s), low voltage batteries package, air compressor, pumps, etc. are secured to the backbone frame and the tower frame to support the electric motor of the electric vehicle.

A self contained battery and slide frame houses a pair of trailer axles and an electrical vehicle storage battery secured by parallel slide frame rails adapted for attachment to an underside of a standard tractor trailer (Class 8) trailer frame. The slide frame attaches to an underside of a trailer using perforated frame beams used to vary a position of the wheel/axle assemblies relative to the trailer body and payload. The slide frame rails provide self contained support for a storage battery, e-axle, control electronics and connecting wires for charging and running a vehicle load from the storage battery. Vehicle loads powered by the storage battery include transport refrigeration units (TRUs) and electrical vehicle (EV) tractors.

A heavy-duty vehicle frame rail clamp on mounting bracket includes a first member, a second member, a third member, and at least one fastener. The third member is configured to contact the first member and the second member. The at least one fastener is applied to the third member. Upon a fastening thereof, the at least one fastener is configured to generate a clamping force on the first member and on the second member. The first member and the second member have a same shape.
