Abstract
A vehicle chassis platform including: a frame having a front frame end, a rear frame end, a longitudinal frame axis, an upper frame surface, a bottom frame surface, a first longitudinal lateral frame surface and a second longitudinal lateral frame surface, wherein the upper frame surface is substantially flat; and two or more mechanical connectors each on one of the first and second longitudinal lateral surfaces, each of mechanical connectors to couple a vehicle corner module (VCM) to the frame and to transfer mechanical loads between the frame and the VCM when the VCM is on the frame.
Claims17
A chassis platform for electric vehicles, the chassis platform comprising:
- a frame comprising:
- a front frame end, a rear frame end, a longitudinal frame axis, an upper frame surface, a bottom frame surface, opposing lateral frame surfaces disposed on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis, a transverse frame axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal frame axis and extending between the opposing lateral frame surfaces;
- at least one of:
- a pair of opposing drivetrain units, a pair of opposing steering units and a pair of opposing braking units, coupled to the frame at the opposing lateral frame surfaces along the transverse frame axis;
- and
- an electrical-vehicle battery (EVB), an electrical-vehicle battery (EVB) compartment or both at least partly positioned in an area between the opposing lateral frame surfaces and along the transverse frame axis between the at least one of the pair of opposing drivetrain units, the pair of opposing steering units, and the pair of opposing braking units.
