[0002] As one of the current mainstream hybrid routes, the range extender is suitable for use on hybrid chassis, especially heavy vehicles with high-power range extender systems. The range extender system, together with the power battery, serves as the energy source of the chassis to provide power to the high-voltage drive components of the chassis, and has functions such as power generation and energy recovery (power consumption).
[0003] Conventional range-extending suspensions are installed with front and rear brackets + auxiliary suspension brackets, and then installed on the vehicle frame. For vehicles equipped with high-power range-extending systems, additional crossbeams for auxiliary generator support and suspension cushions are required, which is not friendly to weight and cost. After adding auxiliary generator support to the high-power range-extending system, the system as a whole has the risk of over-constraint, which reduces the reliability of the connection between the diesel engine housing and the motor housing of the range-extending system.

The above-mentioned prior art has too long front and rear overhangs, which is not friendly to the reliability of the connection between the engine and the generator. Utility Model Content

At the same time, the structure of the appearance is optimized, and corresponding weight-reducing holes are set.
