Abstract: The invention relates to a state control system and method for a vehicle with a battery to be swapped. The system includes: a central gateway, a vehicle state control module, and a vehicle state monitoring module that are communicatively connected, where after receiving a state-to-be-adjusted signal, the central gateway sends a control instruction to the vehicle state control module and/or the vehicle state monitoring module; the vehicle state control module and/or the vehicle state monitoring module adjust/adjusts, according to the control instruction, a state of the vehicle with a battery to be swapped; and the vehicle state monitoring module obtains an adjusted vehicle state of the vehicle with a battery to be swapped, and determines whether the vehicle state is a preset vehicle state required for a battery swap process of the vehicle with a battery to be swapped. In the invention, various control modules in the vehicle with a battery to be swapped are communicatively connected, to implement automatic adjustment of a state of the vehicle, so that the state of the vehicle with a battery to be swapped can be quickly and accurately adjusted to a state required for a battery swap process.

Abstract: Described herein are swappable battery modules comprising immersion-thermally controlled prismatic battery cells and methods of operating thereof. A method comprises positioning a swappable battery module on an external charger comprising charger fluidic ports and sliding the swappable battery module to the charger fluidic ports until these charger's ports are fluidically coupled with the module's fluidic ports. Specifically, the external charger comprises an enclosure and a module support rail slidably coupling the swappable battery module and the enclosure. The module support rail comprises a rail base, a first slider, a second slider, and a lever-based unit, interconnecting the rail base and both sliders. The rail base is fixed to the enclosure, while the second slider is detachably coupled to the module. The two sliders move at different speeds or at the same speed relative to the charger base depending on proximity of the first end plate to the charger base.

Abstract: A system for delivering packages from a warehouse to end destinations, the system comprising a fleet of self-propelled long-range transports and a fleet of containers, each configured to be loaded at the warehouse with packages destined for end destinations. Each long-range transport is configured to be loaded with at least four of the loaded containers and transport the at least four of the loaded containers from the warehouse to one or more intermediate destinations. Upon arrival of one of the loaded long-range transports at one of the one or more intermediate destinations, at least one of the loaded containers is separated from the loaded long-range transport, whereupon the separated container delivers packages to end destinations proximate to the one of the one or more intermediate destinations. After delivery of at least some of the packages loaded thereon at the warehouse, the container is once again loaded on the long-range transport and returned to the warehouse to be loaded with more packages.
