Abstract
An electric delivery vehicle including a cab and a module mounting structure for control module defining at least a portion of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. The module mounting structure includes a module mount, a drain, and a recess. The module mount is configured to couple the control module with the module mounting structure. The drain is configured to drain fluid from the HVAC system. The recess is configured to receive at least a portion of an air duct of the HVAC system to facilitate air movement through the cab of the electric delivery vehicle.
Claims17
An electric delivery vehicle comprising:
- a cab;
- and
- a module mounting structure for a control module defining at least a portion of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, the module mounting structure including:
- a module mount configured to couple the control module with the module mounting structure;
- a drain configured to drain fluid from the HVAC system;
- and
- a recess configured to receive at least a portion of an air duct of the HVAC system to facilitate air movement through the cab of the electric delivery vehicle,
- wherein the module mounting structure includes an internal cavity defined by at least a top portion, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall,
- wherein the module mount is configured such that the control module is coupled to the module mounting structure within the internal cavity, and
- wherein the drain extends from the top portion of the module mounting structure to a location within the internal cavity such that fluid can be guided from the top portion to said location within the internal cavity.
A module mounting structure for an electric delivery vehicle, the module mounting structure comprising:
- a module mount configured to couple a control module with the module mounting structure, the control module defining at least a portion of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system;
- a drain configured to drain fluid from the HVAC system;
- and
- a recess configured to receive at least a portion of an air duct of the HVAC system to facilitate air movement through a cab of the electric delivery vehicle,
- wherein the module mounting structure is selectively removable from the electric delivery vehicle,
- wherein the module mounting structure includes an internal cavity defined by at least a top portion, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall,
- wherein the module mount is configured such that the control module is coupled to the module mounting structure within the internal cavity, and
- wherein the drain extends from the top portion of the module mounting structure to a location within the internal cavity such that fluid can be guided from the top portion to said location within the internal cavity.
An electric delivery vehicle comprising:
- a cab;
- and
- a module mounting structure for a control module defining at least a portion of a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, the module mounting structure including:
- a module mount configured to couple the control module with the module mounting structure;
- a drain defined by the module mounting structure and configured to direct fluid from the HVAC system;
- a recess configured to receive at least a portion of the HVAC system;
- and
- a connector configured to electrically couple the control module with other components of the electric delivery vehicle,
- wherein the module mounting structure is selectively removable from the electric delivery vehicle,
- wherein the recess is positioned along a sidewall of the module mounting structure outside of the internal cavity,
- wherein the module mounting structure includes an internal cavity defined by at least a top portion, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall,
- wherein the module mount is configured such that the control module is coupled to the module mounting structure within the internal cavity, and
- wherein the drain extends from the top portion of the module mounting structure to a location within the internal cavity such that fluid can be guided from the top portion to said location within the internal cavity.
