  • ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY FRAME ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20240140210
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electric vehicle comprising a chassis, a front axle and a rear axle spaced apart and coupled to the chassis, and a battery frame assembly coupled to the chassis between the front axle and the rear axle. The battery frame assembly comprises a plurality of transversely extending members and a plurality of longitudinally extending members, wherein the plurality of transversely extending members and the plurality of longitudinally extending members define a matrix of battery pack receptacles configured to receive at least one battery pack. The battery frame assembly is configured to deflect torsionally in response to torsional deflection of the front axle relative to the rear axle.

  • VEHICLE GASEOUS FUEL STORAGE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240025246
    Abstract: A pressure vessel mounting system for mounting a pressure vessel to a vehicle chassis is disclosed. The system includes a deformable bracket for dissipating force, for example force applied to an end of the pressure vessel. Via use of the pressure vessel mounting system, impact damage to pressure vessels may be reduced and/or eliminated.
