Abstract: A charging inlet (1) for interconnecting an external power supply to a battery system of an electric vehicle to charge the battery system. The charging inlet (1) typically comprises a socket (2) suitable to receive during charging a compatible plug, wherein said socket (2) comprising at least one first inlet pole (3) and at least one second inlet pole (4) for connecting to the external power supply via the compatible plug. Usually a first conductor (5) is interconnected electrically and thermally to the first inlet pole (3) and a second conductor (6) is interconnected electrically and thermally to the second inlet pole (4). A cooling member (7) can be thermally interconnected to the first and the second conductor (5, 6) to provide a heat sink for the socket (2) and the plug during charging.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a charging system (1) for an electric vehicle comprising a first battery system (2) and a second battery system (3) interconnected to each other by a switch box (4) interconnected to a charging device (8) during charging Each battery system (2, 3) comprising at least one battery (21) and at least one thereto connected electrical load (22). The switch box (4) interconnects the first battery system (2) and the second battery system (3) with the charging device (8) in a parallel mode in a parallel manner or in a serial mode in a serial manner.

Abstract: A drive train for an electric truck includes a gearbox and a gear box housing. The drive train further includes an output shaft extending in an axial direction across a wall of the gear box housing and powering a cardan shaft arranged outside of the gear box housing. At least one output gear is arranged inside of the gear box housing on the output shaft. At least a first and a second electric motor attached to the housing of the gearbox form a team of electric motors, wherein each electric motor includes a drive shaft extending parallel to the axial direction and being interconnected via an input gear to an output gear.

Abstract: A battery pack for an electric truck includes a box shaped outer housing, a stack of battery modules accommodated inside the outer housing comprising at least one thermal plate and several battery modules arranged in thermal contact with the at least one thermal plate for heating and/or cooling of the at least one battery module and at least one support element being arranged at least partially between the stack of battery modules and the outer housing including at least partially a porous material and supporting the battery stack with respect to the outer housing.

Abstract: A power supply with an inner housing including a first plate and a second plate arranged spaced apart from each other. The inner housing further includes a channel comprising at least one channel side wall encompassing a channel passage extends in a longitudinal direction between a first plate opening arranged at the first plate and a second plate opening arranged at the second plate. At least one electronic component of the power supply is thermally coupled to the channel side wall.

Abstract: An electric truck includes a battery pack assembly with a battery pack mounting structure and at least one battery pack. The battery pack includes a box shaped outer housing and a battery unit arranged inside and supported by the outer housing. The battery pack mounting structure for each battery pack includes a first and a second cantilever attached to a chassis of the electric truck, the first and second cantilever extending in transversal direction and being in the longitudinal direction spaced a distance apart from each other. Further, the battery pack is interconnected to the first and the second cantilever during operation in a floating manner allowing a torsional movement of the chassis around the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to a bicycle (100) having a frame structure (200) that comprises a swingarm structure (225) including a first substantially U-shaped sheet metal part for holding a wheel (103), the frame structure further comprising a frame bridge (219) consisting of a second substantially U-shaped sheet metal part. The first U-shaped sheet metal part is bent substantially in a first bending plane (P) to form a first U-shape, and the second U-shaped sheet metal part is bent in a second bending plane (Q) to form substantially a second U-shape. The first bending plane extends substantially perpendicular to the second bending plane.
