Description
CHASSIS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a chassis for electric, hybrid or battery powered vehicles, in particular, but not limited to, buses.
Background to the Invention
Currently, electric buses are designed with very large and heavy battery packs installed in the rear and/or on the roof of the vehicle. In order to achieve sufficient range, in some cases over 3.5 tonnes of batteries and auxiliaries are required. This has a significant impact on the overall passenger capacity as it increases the unladen weight of the bus. In addition, the weight distribution impacts upon the stability and therefore the ride and comfort of the bus, and the aesthetics of the bus tend to suffer, particularly when the batteries are located on the roof.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a chassis section which mitigates the disadvantages of the prior art.
Summary of the Invention
In accordance with a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a chassis section for a battery powered electric or hybrid vehicle; wherein the chassis section has an overall length, width and height; and wherein the batteries are integrable within the chassis section such that they are fully contained within the overall length, width and height of said chassis section in use.
Preferably, the chassis section is a chassis mid-section.
Preferably, the vehicle is a bus.
It will be appreciated that the term “chassis mid-section” describes a section of a vehicle chassis that is located intermediate the front and rear axles of the vehicle.
In a preferred embodiment, the chassis section comprises: one or more elongate chassis rails; and a plurality of chassis cross members which extend substantially transverse the elongate chassis rail(s); wherein the overall length, width and height of the chassis section is defined by the dimensions of said one or more chassis rails and cross members.
Optionally, the one or more elongate chassis rails are formed from beam sections having upper and lower flanges joined by an intermediate web
Optionally, the beam sections are C-beam or I-beam sections.
Preferably, there are provided a pair of spaced apart and parallel elongate chassis rails.
Preferably, the batteries are provided as battery modules, and the chassis section is adapted to demountably receive said battery module(s).
Conveniently, the battery modules are of a height that is less than the height of the chassis rails and/or cross members such that the battery modules are contained within the depth/height of the chassis section.
In this way, the batteries are contained in use within an envelope defined by the overall dimensions of the chassis section.
Preferably, each battery module has a maximum height of 120mm.
Conveniently, the battery module(s) are slidably mountable within the chassis section.
Preferably, the battery module(s) are slidably mountable between adjacent chassis cross members. In this way, the battery modules can be slid into and out of engagement of the chassis section as a cassette system.
In this way, the battery module(s) can easily be removed from, and installed into, a vehicle comprising the chassis section in accordance with the invention.
In this way, the batteries are located at a lowermost position (i.e. at a floor or below-floor level) on the vehicle in use, thereby lowering the centre of gravity of the vehicle in comparison to prior art electric buses.
When installed, access to the battery modules is via openable panels.
Advantageously, the chassis section is provided with a plurality of connection members located at opposing ends of said chassis section, wherein each connection member comprises a chassis rail section that is adapted to connect to a respective corresponding end of a chassis rail of a vehicle’s front or rear section.
In this way, the chassis section is suitable for use in single, double deck and articulated electric buses.
Advantageously, the space defined between spaced apart and parallel elongate chassis rails provides a service channel through which wiring looms, pneumatic and hydraulic and fuel lines etc. can be installed.
In accordance with a second aspect of the invention there is provided a battery module suitable for use within a chassis section in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.
In accordance with a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a vehicle, in particular a bus, comprising a chassis section in accordance with the first aspect of the invention.

Brief Description of the Drawings
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of example only, and with reference to the accompanying figures in which:
Figure 1a is a perspective view of an exemplary vehicle chassis having a mid-section in accordance with invention;
Figure 1 b is a perspective detailed view of a chassis mid-section of Figure 1a; and
Figure 2 is a perspective detailed view of a variation of a chassis mid-section in accordance with the invention.
Description of the Preferred Embodiments
Referring to the drawings, Figure 1a shows an exemplary overall chassis 1 of an electric bus having a front section 2, a rear section 3, and an intermediate chassis or “mid-“ section 10 in accordance with a first aspect of the invention.
Chassis mid-section 10 comprises a pair of spaced apart elongate chassis rails 11 which run centrally along the longitudinal axis of said chassis section. The space 12 defined between the elongate chassis rails 11 provides a service channel through which wiring looms, pneumatic and hydraulic and fuel lines etc. 14 associated with the vehicle are installed. Chassis mid-section 10 also comprises a plurality of cross members 13 which extend substantially transverse the elongate chassis rail 11.
Chassis cross members 13 may extend across the full width of the chassis section or may comprise shorter bracing members 131 which connect between the respective chassis rails and the side edge of the chassis section. Bracing members 131 are substantially parallel to cross members 13.
The overall length, width and height of the chassis section 10 is defined by the dimensions of the chassis rails 11 and cross members 13.
In Figures 1a and 1b, the illustrated chassis mid-section 10 incorporates a space or gap 17 which accommodates a mid- or side door of a bus. In Figure 2, the illustrated chassis mid-section is for a bus which does not have a mid-door and so the space otherwise required to accommodate such a door is used to house an additional battery module or modules.
With reference to Figures 1b and 2, the elongate chassis rails 11 are each formed from beam sections having upper 11a and lower (not visible) flanges joined by an intermediate web 11c. It will be appreciated that C-beam, I-beam, or other suitable beam sections may be employed. Cross members 13, 131 are similarly formed. It will also be appreciated that each elongate chassis rail 11 and cross member 13 may be constructed from a number of separate chassis rail or cross member sections joined end to end.
The vehicle batteries 30 adapted for use with chassis section 10 are provided in modular form, and the chassis section 10 is adapted to demountably receive said battery modules. Thus the battery or batteries 30 are integrable within the chassis section 10. As shown in the Figures, battery modules 30 are located in use within the confines of chassis section 10. In this way, the batteries are integrated with the chassis mid-section.
Each battery module 30 is of a height that is less than the height of the chassis rails 11 and/or cross members 13, 131 such that the battery modules 30 are contained within the overall length, width and height of the chassis section 10 in use. In this way, the batteries are contained within an envelope defined by the overall dimensions of the chassis section. Preferably, each battery module has a maximum height of 120mm.
By locating the battery modules within the space defined by the chassis mid-section, the batteries are located at a lowermost position (i.e. floor or below-floor level) on the vehicle between the front and rear axles, thereby lowering the centre of gravity of the vehicle when compared to prior art electric buses.
Conveniently, batteries in accordance with the invention adapted integration within the chassis section 10 in accordance with the invention have been developed to achieve the maximum possible power within the space available.
In a preferred arrangement, each battery module 30 is slidably mountable within the chassis section 10. Specifically, the battery modules 30 are adapted for slidable mounting between adjacent chassis cross members 13, 131. Rails (not shown) into which the respective sides of the battery modules are slidably engaged are provided on the cross members 13, 131. Thus the battery modules 30 can be slid into and out of engagement of the chassis section as a cassette system. In this way, the battery modules 30 can easily be removed from, and installed into, a vehicle comprising a chassis section 10 in accordance with the invention. This simplifies the servicing, maintenance and replacement of batteries, which is otherwise a very difficult, labour intensive and time consuming activity. When installed, access to the battery modules 30 is via openable panels 15. The battery modules 30 are maintained in location on the chassis section by suitable locking means.
When installed into the chassis, the battery modules are then electrically coupled to the vehicle. In one arrangement, module terminals (not shown) located at a rear end of each battery module 30 engage with associated connectors provided on the vehicle proximate the elongate chassis rails 11 such that connection of the batteries to the vehicle is achieved automatically upon insertion of the modules 30 within the chassis section 10.
Currently, single and double deck diesel buses use completely different chassis designs. Conveniently however, a chassis mid-section 10 in accordance with the present invention is suitable for use in single, double deck and articulated electric buses. To enable this, the chassis section 10 is provided with connection members 16 at opposing ends. Each connection member 16 comprises a section of chassis rail that is adapted to connect to a respective end of a chassis rail 4, 5 of a vehicle’s front 2 and rear section 3 as shown in Figure 1a.
Conveniently, a chassis mid-section 10 in accordance with the present invention allows batteries having various different battery chemistries (e.g. NMC, LTO, etc.) to be packaged within the same available space envelope. In this way, a chassis section in accordance with the invention also therefore accommodates multifunctional charging types across a range of products.
