Abstract: Two side members are provided so as to be in side portions of a vehicle. Each side member is provided with a kick-up portion curved upward. A cross member is provided so as to interconnect side surfaces of forward portions of the kick-up portions of the two side members. A forward portion of a battery pack is fixed to an upper surface of the cross member via forward brackets welded to the forward portion of the battery pack. A rearward portion of the battery pack is fixed to upper surfaces of rearward portions of the kick-up portions of the two side members via a bridge provided so as to interconnect the two side members.

Abstract: In the battery pack, a battery module cover is fixed to a lower case using a security bolt (break-head bolt) in an undetachable manner in order to prevent charge and discharge with respect to a battery module which is a secondary battery from/to an external source. An auxiliary component cover is fixed to the lower case by an ordinary bolt and a nut in order to allow an electronic component within an auxiliary component to be replaced. By this configuration, there are provided a battery pack having a structure which allows the auxiliary component to be serviced while ensuring safety during transportation in the case where the battery pack is to be serviced, and a motor vehicle incorporating the battery pack.

Abstract: In a hybrid car using a high voltage battery in combination with an auxiliary machinery battery both arranged in a rear portion of a vehicle, a fusible link box is provided in the vicinity of the 12V auxiliary machinery battery. A power line serving as an output line from a DC/DC converter converting a voltage between the high voltage battery and the battery is not returned to an engine room but connected to the fusible link box. An EFI unit of high importance should maintain its operation even when a fusible link is blown due to flow of an excessive current when the battery is charged from the DC/DC converter. Here, a power line and a fusible link are dedicated to the EFI unit consuming relatively small power, so that a path for routing the power line is more readily ensured.
