Abstract
Land vehicles, modular systems for forming monocoques of land vehicles, and methods of forming monocoques of land vehicles using modular systems are envisioned. In certain embodiments, the land vehicles are provided as delivery vehicles and/or utility vehicles. A land vehicle includes a monocoque supporting a plurality of wheels to permit movement of the vehicle relative to an underlying surface in use of the land vehicle.

An electric vehicle comprising:
- one or more electric motors;
- and
- a monocoque supporting the one or more electric motors, wherein the monocoque comprises a front cage defining an operator cabin and a rear floor located rearward of the front cage in a longitudinal direction that at least partially defines a stowage compartment of the electric vehicle,
- wherein the front cage includes an arcuate void extending at least partway through a sidewall of the front cage.
