Abstract
A vehicle includes a frame including a pair of spaced apart longitudinal members extending along a vehicle-longitudinal axis. Multiple cross-members extend transverse to the vehicle-longitudinal axis and are fastened at each end to a corresponding one of the pair of longitudinal members. A battery tray is positioned above the multiple cross-members and positioned between the longitudinal members.
