The electric powered vehicle may include a body including a dash panel, a cowl disposed along an upper end of the dash panel and at least partly located forward of the dash panel, an electric unit located forward of the dash panel and supported by the body, and a connector connecting the electric unit and an intermediate portion of the cowl to each other.

Abstract: Systems and methods for fixing a binding board to skis that are removably connected together to form of a splitboard are described herein. In some cases, the described systems use a sliding and removable setting of bearing pins in eyes that are formed on adjacent areas of the board and a clamp that is fixed to the skis. The essence of the invention is a fixation of lateral parts of the eyes by stoppers which partially overreach into cross sections of the eyes. A diameter of the bearing pins basically corresponds with a diameter of the eyes. The bearing pins are equipped with circular recesses for engaging with the stoppers and also with end parts that each have a truncated conical tip.

Abstract: A cooling circuit arrangement includes first and second closed cooling circuits. Each closed cooling circuit has a heat source, a pump and a radiator.
