Abstract: The vehicle for container transport includes a chassis mounted on top of a rolling device and at least one housing of a battery for a self-contained electric power supply of an electric motor for driving all or part of the rolling device. There is a housing defined as a recess extending from at least one of the sides of the chassis and including a device for lateral insertion and support of at least one battery module and a device for electrical interconnection with the module. The device for insertion and support includes, at the bottom of the recess, a support base on which at least one battery module, or even a plurality of these modules, can rest. Advantageously, at the height of the support base, on the periphery and inside a recess, abutment flanges are provided to ensure that at least one battery module is immobilized transversely and longitudinally.
