Embodiment Construction

[0100] This section further describes the present invention in detail based on preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings. Throughout the different embodiments of the invention, like reference numerals will be used to describe similar or identical concepts.

[0101] It should be noted that features described for a particular embodiment described herein may be combined with features of other embodiments unless explicitly mentioned to the contrary. In order to focus on features specific to the present invention, features known in the art will not be explicitly mentioned. For example, an electric bus according to the present invention is apparently equipped with a computer, although it is not explicitly referenced on the drawings nor is it referenced in the specification.

[0102] Dimensions can be measured without passengers and / or on a level, flat surface.

[0103] In the following description, the word "longitudinal" may correspond to the main elongation direction of th...

Abstract

The invention provides an articulated electric bus (2) for at least one hundred passengers. The articulated electric bus (2) includes two units (4) with: a passenger compartment (26) comprising a mainfloor (40) forming a low and thin platform (38) with a planar surface (42) extending over the majority of the width of the passenger compartment (26), a wheel housing (18) adjacent to the planar surface (42), a longitudinal row of seat places (29) on the wheel housing, and a driving wheel (8) which is housed in the wheel housing under the longitudinal row of seats (30) and which includes: an electric engine, a rotation axis (52), a rim (50) with a rim top (50T) above the planar surface (42). The driving wheel (8) is movable vertically with respect to the planar surface, and the wheel housing(18) actually receives a pair or a couple of driving wheels.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electric buses. More precisely, the present invention provides a passenger compartment structure for an electric bus. The present invention provides a safety solution suitable for electric vehicles, especially with regard to side impacts. Background technique [0002] The electric bus combines a passenger compartment with a longitudinal seat row and wheel arches protruding from the passenger compartment. Arranging the longitudinal seat rows alongside the side walls allows maintaining a wide platform for passengers to stand between. Thus, this arrangement increases the overall passenger capacity of the electric bus, in particular its tractor and its attached trailer. [0003] To increase autonomy by reducing energy consumption, the weight and overall dimensions of the electric bus are reduced. However, maintaining high passenger capacity often requires an increase in weight and overall size. As can be deduced f...
