These designs collectively improve the power performance, passability and reliability of the engineering vehicle, and provide strong support for the optimization and upgrading of the engineering vehicle.

[0026] In this embodiment, the power distribution box 1 is arranged in the middle of the vehicle beam, and the power distribution box 1 is installed on the beam through the lower side suspension fixing interface 13 and the upper side suspension fixing interface 14. This layout and installation mode ensures the stability and balance of the power distribution box during vehicle operation, effectively reduces damage and failure caused by vibration and bumping, and improves the reliability and durability of the power distribution box and the entire vehicle system.

[0027] Specifically, the center distance between the front axle drive interface 5 and the rear axle drive interface 4 is 240 mm. This design not only meets the specific requirements of vehicle power distribution and transmission, but also optimizes the overall layout and weight distribution of the vehicle, which helps to improve the controllability and stability of the vehicle.

[0028] Further, the motor input interface 11 is in transmission connection with the output shaft external spline of the motor through an internal spline 2, and the internal spline 2 is a involute spline.
