  • Publication number: 20240190232
    Abstract: A system for installation of traction batteries for a vehicle having a chassis comprising at least one load-carrying frame member. A front bracket member and a rear bracket member are adapted to be secured to and project from the frame member of the vehicle for receiving a traction battery between the front bracket member and the rear bracket member. The system also comprises a first and a second slider adapted to be connected to a front and a rear side, respectively, of a traction battery. The sliders are adapted to be mated with the bracket members subsequently to the sliders having been connected to the traction battery, thereby enabling the traction battery by means of the connected sliders to be received by the bracket members and be moved towards the frame member of the vehicle.
