  • Publication number: 20260074381
    Abstract: A busbar assembly for an electrical cell module is disclosed having a pair of opposing module end plates supporting an adjacent pair of cell stacks. The assembly includes a frame member having first and second engaging means to cooperatingly mount the busbar assembly, in an assembled position, to the module end plates, and a receiving portion having a series of apertures, extending between upper and lower faces. The assembly includes a plurality of busbar elements, each having a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein each aperture of the receiving portion receivingly engages at least one busbar element with its first surface oriented towards the lower face. Each aperture includes a support portion and a retaining protrusion to cooperatingly restrict relative movement of the busbar elements between the upper lower faces of the receiving portion as the assembly is mounted to the electrical cell module in the assembled position.

  • Publication number: 20260074346
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical cell module comprising: an opposing pair of module end plates spaced apart along a longitudinal axis; a first cell stack; and a second cell stack. Each cell stack comprises: a series of cells stacked along the longitudinal axis, and a pair of stack end plates at opposing ends and configured to be fixed to one another in an assembled position to apply to the series of cells a compressive force along the longitudinal axis, and define a stack length. The compressive forces are within a predetermined operable range. Each opposing pair of module end plates is fixedly engaged, in a use position, with one corresponding stack end plate of each cell stack so the module end plates are spaced apart from one another along the longitudinal axis by a predetermined distance, and the first stack length is different to the second stack length.

  • Publication number: 20260027948
    Abstract: The present application relates to a battery electric dump truck, comprising a frame, a dump body pivotably mounted on the frame, a cooling circuit, and a power unit comprising a battery unit and a thermal conditioning unit attached to each other. The power unit provides electrical energy to an electrical propulsion motor of the battery electric dump truck. The thermal conditioning unit comprises at least a first part of the cooling circuit, the cooling circuit comprising valves and connectors for closing off and separating the first part of the cooling circuit of the power unit from a second part of the cooling circuit arranged on the battery electric dump truck, the valves and connectors configured such that the power unit can be de-installed from the battery electric dump truck with the first part and/or the second part of the cooling circuit remaining at least partly filled with cooling liquid.

  • Publication number: 20260024863
    Abstract: The invention relates to a modular housing unit and modular housing system for electrical cell modules, in particular for an electric vehicle. It also relates to a method of assembling the same. The modular housing unit supports an electrical cell module in an electric vehicle. The housing unit includes a base having an upper face; a wall circumscribing the base and extending away from the upper face to define a compartment opening; and a unit compartment within the upper face and the wall. The unit compartment is accessible through the compartment opening. The housing unit receives through the compartment opening at least one electrical cell module for mounting in the unit compartment. The wall is releasably mountable in an assembled position to a corresponding wall of a second housing unit so that, in the assembled position, the base of the second housing unit forms a closure of the compartment opening.
