Abstract: The disclosure relates to a component for use in a part of a vehicle. The component comprising a guiding section configured for guiding the component relative to a sleeve when positioning the component inside the part of the vehicle, the guiding section comprising at least one guiding structure provided at a guiding side of the component, the at least one guiding structure comprising a groove extending at the guiding side and at least one protrusion directly adjacent to the groove and protruding away from the groove, the groove and the protrusion are extending substantially in parallel to each other along at least a portion of the guiding side.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a frame for a traction battery assembly of a vehicle. The frame comprises at least a first beam component and a second beam component, wherein the first beam component and the second beam component are connected via a friction stir weld seam. The weld seam has at least one curved section. Additionally, a traction battery assembly for a vehicle is presented. The traction battery assembly comprises such a frame and at least one battery cell being arranged inside the frame. The at least one battery cell is connected to the first beam component and/or to the second beam component via an adhesive component. Moreover, a vehicle is shown. The vehicle comprises a traction battery assembly, wherein the traction battery assembly is a structural floor component of the vehicle. Furthermore, a method for producing a frame for a traction battery assembly of a vehicle is explained.

Abstract: Systems, devices, system-implemented methods, computer-implemented methods and/or computer program products are provided that can facilitate movement and/or cleaning of a sensor lens of a sensor system for a vehicle body. In one embodiment, the sensor system can comprise a sensor lens having a retractable portion that is moveable at least partially into and out of a chamber. The sensor system also can comprise a cleaning assembly configured to clean the retractable portion disposed within the chamber and at least partially separated from airflow exterior to the chamber. According to another embodiment, a sensor system for a vehicle body can comprise a moveable sensor lens, a cover, and a cleaning assembly configured to clean the sensor lens at least partially concealed by the cover from an environment about the vehicle body.
