Abstract:
The invention concerns a motor vehicle (1), preferably a truck or a lorry, comprising a battery exchange station (2), the battery exchange station (2) comprising at least one battery (3), an actuator element (4) and a connecting element (5) arranged between the battery (3) and the actuator element (4), the actuator element (4) being movable from a first to a second position, such that in the first position the at least one battery (3) is arranged completely under the motor vehicle (1), while in the second position the at least one battery (3) is arranged completely outside, preferably behind, the motor vehicle (1).
Abstract:
The invention discloses a lift device (10) for mounting for instance at the rear end of a vehicle, said device being characterised in that during use hereof it exerts a minimum torque on the side and/or bottom parts of the vehicle and in that it furthermore requires attachment means which takes up a very limited space in the lateral direction of the vehicle, so that cargoes of a lateral dimension almost corresponding to the lateral dimension of the rear part of the vehicle can be inserted into the vehicle, and where the lift device during transport can be housed completely within the vehicle with the back doors hereof closed. Alternatively, the lift device could also be mounted at the side door of a vehicle. The lift device essentially comprises three parts: vertical support means for attachment to the sides and possibly bottom of the vehicle, guide means for guiding and supporting a platform to be lowered/raised relative to the vehicle, which guide means can be rotated relative to said support means to an inclined position, where they just clear the back end of the vehicle, and such that said platform can be displaced along said guide means during use of the lift device. Means are furthermore provided for automatically aligning the plane of the platform with the plane of the floor of the vehicle, should a misalignment of the platform have occurred for instance due to ground irregularities during use of the lift device.
Abstract:
A device (1) for interconnection with a motor vehicle (2) comprising at least one battery (3) and at least one electric terminal (4) adapted for connection with a charging unit (11), a coupling means (5) adapted for interconnecting the device (1) with the motor vehicle (2) and a load-carrying structure (6) comprising at least one axle (7) and at least one wheel (8), wherein the device (1) may be interconnected with the motor vehicle in a boogie-like manner as the load-carrying structure (6) is adapted for carrying the dead weight of the device, and wherein the load-carrying structure (6) is dimensioned to have a load capacity exceeding the dead weight of the device, such that the device (1), when interconnected with the motor vehicle (2), increases the net load of the motor vehicle.
