    Abstract: An electric drivetrain for installation in a vehicle chassis. A generator coupled to an engine generates electric power for charging an array of batteries. The vehicle, including components and subsystems, may be powered electrically from the batteries, allowing the engine and generator to be easily replaced or customized for an industry, geographic region, fuel type, or a set of emission requirements. A thermal management system may determine a battery temperature for the set of batteries and cause one or more of a coolant system, a refrigerant system, an exhaust gas system or an ambient air heat exchanger to add heat to the set of batteries or transfer heat away from the set of batteries.

    Abstract: A cooling system for a battery pack in a vehicle comprises a base plate, a plurality of transverse members, a pump, a controller, and a heat exchanger. The controller causes the pump to generate fluid flow into an inlet/outlet port of the base plate. The base plate comprises a channel with segments for supplying fluid to a first set of fluid distribution ports and receiving fluid from a second set of fluid distribution ports. Each fluid distribution port is in fluid communication with a main conduit of a transverse member and transverse conduits connect the main conduits of a transverse member. Fluid flow through the channel in the base plate and the main conduits and transverse conduits of the transverse members cool the batteries and distribute heat. Cooling multiple sides of the batteries reduces the operating temperature to reduce charging times and extend the service life of the batteries.
