Vehicle platforms, and systems, subsystems, and components thereof are described. A self-contained vehicle platform or chassis incorporating substantially all of the functional systems, subsystems and components (e.g., mechanical, electrical, structural, etc.) necessary for an operative vehicle. Functional components may include at least energy storage/conversion, propulsion, suspension and wheels, steering, crash protection, and braking systems. Functional components are standardized such that vehicle platforms may be interconnected with a variety of vehicle body designs (also referred to in the art as ''top hats'') with minimal or no modification to the functional linkages (e.g., mechanical, structural, electrical, etc.) therebetween. Configurations of functional components are incorporated within the vehicle platform such that there is minimal or no physical overlap between the functional components and the area defined by the vehicle body. Specific functional components of such vehicle platforms, and the relative placement of the various functional components, to allow for implementation of a self-contained vehicle platform are also provided.
本发明涉及车辆平台及其系统、子系统和部件。一种自给式车辆平台或底盘,基本上包含操作车辆所需的所有功能系统、子系统和部件(例如,机械、电气、结构等)。功能部件可至少包括能量存储/转换、推进、悬架和车轮、转向、碰撞保护和制动系统。功能部件是标准化的,使得车辆平台可以与各种车身设计(在本领域中也称为“顶帽”)互连,而对功能连接(例如,机械、结构、电气等)的修改最少或没有修改。功能部件的配置包括在车辆平台内,使得功能部件与车身限定的区域之间存在最小的物理重叠或没有物理重叠。还提供了这种车辆平台的特定功能部件,以及各种功能部件的相对位置,以允许实现自给式车辆平台。
