An electrified vehicle include a chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, an electric motor supported by the chassis, and a trailer coupled to a rear end of the chassis and configured to be towed by the electrified vehicle. The electric motor is configured to drive at least one of the front axle, the rear axle, or a component of the electrified vehicle. The trailer includes a trailer frame, a trailer axle coupled to the trailer frame, and an energy storage device supported by the trailer frame. The energy storage device includes a plurality of batteries. The energy storage device configured to power the electric motor.

The present invention is an electric vehicle wherein the vehicle is powered by an internal generator rather than the traditional method of plugging in to charge the electric battery. The internal generator is made up of an alternator and a regulator which control the flow of electricity to the battery of the car. The battery of the car will only need to be charged once at the beginning of use or first time use of the vehicle and then will obtain power from the internal generator.

A reinforcement frame (1) for a battery pack (2) of an electric or hybrid vehicle (37), the battery pack including a plurality of battery cells lying on and secured to a shield element, the reinforcement frame including at least: a reinforcement frame fastening portion (3) provided to be secured to both the battery pack and the body of the vehicle, and a reinforcement frame hollow portion (4) provided to surround at least the battery cells.

An energy store floor assembly for an electrically driven motor vehicle includes an electrical energy store device, which is accommodated in a multi-part store housing and is situated on the underside of a vehicle floor of the energy store floor assembly. To create an energy store floor assembly which can be constructed in a more simple and lightweight manner, at least one longitudinal support is arranged inside the store housing of the energy store device and is connected at least at one end at least indirectly to a motor vehicle support component situated in the region of the front end.

A modular motor vehicle architecture is provided for motor vehicles of different motor vehicle types, in each case having at least one drive machine and at least one energy storage unit paired with the at least one drive machine. The at least one energy storage unit is received in a modularly designed underfloor energy storage unit assembly that has a plurality of energy storage unit modules, at least one outer dimension of which is standardized. Each vehicle type is paired with one underfloor energy storage unit assembly from a plurality of standardized underfloor energy storage unit assemblies. And, each underfloor energy storage unit assembly has a plurality of unit module installation areas, a longitudinal dimension of which extending in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle is standardized and each of which is designed to receive at least one respective standardized energy storage unit module.

An embodiment vehicle body includes a rear cross member unit disposed in a vehicle width direction and coupled to front portions of a pair of rear side members disposed at a rear portion of the vehicle body, a pair of side seal units respectively coupled to end portions of the rear cross member unit in a vehicle length direction, a front cross member unit coupled to front portions of the pair of side seal units in the vehicle width direction, an upper cross member unit coupled to upper portions of the pair of side seal units in the vehicle width direction, and a rear floor panel assembly connected to the rear cross member unit, the pair of side seal units, the front cross member unit, and the upper cross member unit.

A battery pack support assembly includes a plurality of isolators disposed between an outer support frame of a battery pack and longitudinal rails of a vehicle frame. Each isolator includes a housing, an elastic body and a fastener. The housing defines a central opening and opposed flanges. The opposed flanges are secured to a respective longitudinal rail. The elastic body is disposed within the central opening of the housing. The fastener extends laterally through the central opening of the housing and secures the elastic body to the outer support frame of the battery pack.

A floor structure of a rear vehicle body, in which at least one component including a high-voltage battery is mounted in a rear portion of a vehicle body, includes: a first cross member coupled to each front portion of first and second rear side members in a vehicle width direction; and a second cross member coupled to the first and second rear side members at a rear of the corresponding first cross member in the vehicle width direction, wherein a space in which the at least one component is mounted is formed between the first cross member and the second cross member.

A hybrid vehicle includes an engine that drives first wheel, and a motor that drives second wheel. The hybrid vehicle includes (1) a minute speed launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven only by the motor as a drive source, (2) a sudden launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven by the engine and motor as the drive source, and (3) a smooth launch support mode where the hybrid vehicle is driven only by the motor as the drive source in an early stage, is driven by the engine and motor in a middle stage, and is driven only by the engine in a late stage, and if an operation amount of an acceleration instruction unit is not 0 or is substantially not 0, any one of the support modes is executed according to an operation status of the acceleration instruction unit.

A battery tray and a vehicle include a frame structure including a plurality of frames sequentially connected end to end arranged to be connected to the vehicle, and a base plate structure including an inner base plate and a reinforcing beam, wherein the inner base plate is located on an inner side of the reinforcing beam and arranged for mounting a battery module. The battery tray further includes a reinforcing block, wherein the reinforcing block is connected to a corresponding frame and the reinforcing beam in a matching mode, so as to fixedly connect the reinforcing beam to the frame structure through the reinforcing block. In the battery tray, the strength of the battery tray can be enhanced and a total weight can be decreased only by using the reinforcing block to fixedly connect the reinforcing beam to the frame structure.
