    Abstract: An energy store tank assembly includes a tank adapted for mounting to a frame of a tractor-trailer vehicle by a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is coupled to the frame, and the mounting bracket extends around, and in contact with, a circumference of the tank to secure the tank to the frame. The energy store tank assembly further includes an energy store disposed within the tank, the energy store configured to supply electrical power to the tractor-trailer vehicle in a first mode of operation and further configured to receive energy from the tractor-trailer vehicle in a second mode of operation. In some embodiments, the tank includes an electrical interface through which the energy store supplies the electrical power to the tractor-trailer vehicle in the first mode of operation and through which the energy store receives energy from the tractor-trailer vehicle in the second mode of operation
