Abstract: A clip for retaining a collar in position on a surface of a battery assembly during assembly of the battery assembly to a vehicle body component, wherein the collar is retained between the surface of the battery assembly and the vehicle body component when assembled to maintain a defined spacing therebetween. The clip comprises a mounting portion comprising a retaining stud releasably engageable with a corresponding hole in the surface of the battery assembly for retention of the clip on said surface. The clip also comprises a gripping portion configured to resiliently deflect as urged into engagement with an outer engagement surface of the collar to securely retain the collar therewithin.

The frame mount comprising an elongate body having a first edge region and a second edge region, the second edge region spaced apart from and inclined relative to the first edge region for attachment to a battery housing.

Abstract: A vehicle structure includes a power supply pack assembly and a body portion. The power supply pack assembly comprises a cross member and one or more pack modules of the power supply pack assembly supported on the cross member. The vehicle structure comprises a side impact system comprising a first sacrificial zone that extends laterally in an inboard direction with respect to the furthest outboard lateral extent of the cross member on a corresponding side of the power supply pack assembly, so that in the event of a side impact of sufficient force to the vehicle structure corresponding to the side of the body portion and corresponding side of the power supply pack assembly, the cross member is impacted prior to any exhaustion of the first sacrificial zone, such that the power supply pack assembly is displaced laterally relative to the body portion.
