    摘要: A bodyshell structure for an electrically driveable motor vehicle includes a ventilation channel formed by a plurality of structural components that are connected to one another and delimit respective cavities. The ventilation channel has at least one inlet opening for inflow of a venting gas that emerges from a drive battery of the motor vehicle in an event of a thermal event and has at least one outlet opening via which the venting gas is dischargeable into a surrounding of the motor vehicle. A venting gas treatment device is disposed inside the ventilation channel where the venting gas and/or particles entrained with the venting gas is treatable by the venting gas treatment device.

    摘要: A vehicle lower structure includes a battery pack arranged under a floor panel and having: first and second battery units that are separately arranged from each other on both sides in the vehicle width direction of the propeller shaft; and a battery cover. The battery cover has a first battery accommodation section, a second battery accommodation section, and a coupling section that couples the first and second battery accommodation section and extends in the vehicle width direction. The coupling section includes a fragile section between the first and second battery accommodation sections in the vehicle width direction.

    摘要: Electric vehicles include adjustable battery positions and/or adjustable track widths for controlling vehicle stability. In some examples, an electric vehicle comprises a positioning mechanism configured to move the battery pack relative to the support structure (e.g., operable as the vehicle's frame) to change the vehicle's COG. The battery pack can be moved in response to other vehicle operations, e.g., COG changes caused by adding/moving loads, changes to the route grade, and the like. The battery pack can be slidably coupled to the support structure. In some examples, an electric vehicle comprises a track adjustment mechanism configured to move the vehicle's wheel axle relative to the support structure, along the wheel axle center axis, thereby changing the track width. The wheel axle can be coupled to a hub motor. In some examples, the battery is moved, and/or the track width is changed during the vehicle's operation.

    摘要: An assembly for a traction battery of a motor vehicle includes a battery module having a cell composite formed by a plurality of battery cells, wherein degassing regions of the battery cells are located on an upper side of the cell composite for letting out a hot gas from a cell housing of the battery cells; a battery component arranged in a vertical direction above the battery module, such that the upper side of the cell composite is facing an underside of the battery component; and a protective unit having a sheet-metal-type protective region for protecting the battery component from the hot gas and a frame-type support region connected to the protective region. The battery component is secured to the support region and the protective region is arranged between the underside of the battery component and the upper side of the cell composite.

    摘要: A vehicle-body structure prevents a submarine phenomenon of a passenger during a front-end collision and achieves lowering of the vehicle floor-height while maintaining a sufficient number of mounted batteries. Embodiments of a vehicle-body structure include a seat pan that is formed at part of a floor panel and on which a seat cushion is placed, and a battery arranged below the seat pan. A bulging portion that bulges upward is formed at a vehicle front-side of the seat pan. An accessory member is housed inside the bulging portion. An upper-end portion of the accessory member housed in the bulging portion 4 is positioned farther on the upper-side than a lower-end portion of the bulging portion 48a.
