Furthermore, a fuel tank 35 that stores fuel for the engine 20 is disposed under the floor of the pickup truck 10. A propeller shaft 25 for the rear wheels is disposed in a portion between the exhaust pipe 33 and the fuel tank 35 in the vehicle width direction.

[0014] <Battery placement> Next, the battery arrangement of the pickup truck 10 will be described with reference to Figures 3 and 4. The pickup truck 10 is equipped with two batteries, a first battery 40 and a second battery 41, as power sources for the motor 22. The first battery 40 and the second battery 41 are electrically connected by a harness, a bus bar, or the like.

[0015] The first battery 40 is disposed in a portion of the cabin 11 below the rear row seats 16 on the vehicle DW side. In the present embodiment, the first battery 40 is disposed outside the vehicle interior 14, more specifically, in a portion of the vehicle interior 14 below the floor panel 14A on the vehicle DW side. In the present embodiment, the first battery 40 is disposed such that an end of the first battery 40 on the vehicle front FR is located further behind the end of the rear row seats 16 on the vehicle front FR side.

[0016] The second battery 41 is installed in the luggage section 13. In the present embodiment, the second battery 41 is installed in a portion of the luggage section 13 adjacent to the cabin section 11, i.e., at the end of the luggage section 13 at the front FR of the vehicle. In the present embodiment, the second battery 41 is installed on the floor panel 18A of the cargo bed 18. In the case of FIG. 3, the second battery 41 is installed on the floor panel 18A in a state where it is exposed to the outside, but the second battery 41 may also be installed in a state where it is covered with a cover.

[0017] The first battery 40 and the second battery 41 each have two modules 42 to 45 arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Each of the modules 42 to 45 is an assembled battery made up of a plurality of cells (single cells). In the present embodiment, each of the modules 42 to 45 is made up of a plurality of cells arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction. Furthermore, in this pickup truck 10, each of the modules 42 to 45 is made up of cells of a common standard. Furthermore, each of the modules 42 to 45 is made up of the same number of cells. In this way, the first battery 40 and the second battery 41 are made up of common modules 42 to 45.

[0018] Furthermore, the first battery 40 and the second battery 41 are equipped with high-voltage electric units 46 and 47, respectively. The high-voltage electric units 46 and 47 are installed in the first battery 40 and the second battery 41 at a position UP above the modules 42 to 45 of the vehicle. The high-voltage electric units 46 and 47 are on-board electric devices that convert or distribute power. Examples of the high-voltage electric units 46 and 47 include a power control unit, a charge control unit, a step-down unit, and a junction box. The power control unit is an electric unit that controls the power of the motor 22. The charge control unit is an electric unit that controls the charge of the first battery 40 or the second battery 41. The step-down unit is an electric unit that converts high-voltage power output from the first battery 40 or the second battery 41 into low-voltage power that is supplied to on-board electric devices other than the motor 22. The junction box is an electric unit that functions as a distribution board. The high-voltage electric units 46 and 47 may be the same type of electric unit or different types of electric units. Furthermore, the high-voltage electric units 46 and 47 may be configured to have the functions of a plurality of electric units.

[0019] <Operation of the First Embodiment> In addition to the frame 30, the propeller shaft 25, the exhaust pipe 33, the fuel tank 35, etc. are installed under the floor of the pickup truck 10 configured as a PHEV. Therefore, it is difficult to secure sufficient space under the floor of the pickup truck 10 to install a battery that serves as the power source for the motor 22.

[0020] The pickup truck 10 of this embodiment is equipped with a first battery 40 installed in the cabin section 11 on the vehicle underside DW of the rear row seats 16, and a second battery 41 installed in the luggage section 13, as power sources for the motor 22. Because the batteries are arranged separately in this manner, a large-capacity battery can be installed even in the pickup truck 10 configured as a PHEV.

[0021] <Effects of the first embodiment> The pickup truck 10 of this embodiment configured as above has the following advantages.

[0022] (1) The battery is divided and placed in the DW portion under the vehicle of the rear row seat 16 of the cabin portion 11 and in the luggage portion 13, so that a large-capacity battery can be easily installed in the pickup truck 10 configured as a PHEV.

[0023] (2) The front end FR of the first battery 40 is located further rearward RR than the front end FR of the rear seat 16. Therefore, the placement of the first battery 40 prevents a reduction in the foot space of an occupant seated in the rear seat 16.

[0024] (3) The second battery 41 is disposed in a portion of the luggage area 13 adjacent to the cabin area 11. The second battery 41 is located close to the first battery 40 installed on the vehicle underside DW of the rear row seats 16, which facilitates the routing of harnesses and the like for electrically connecting the first battery 40 and the second battery 41.

[0025] (4) The first battery 40 and the second battery 41 are configured with common modules 42 to 45. Therefore, many of the components of the first battery 40 and the second battery 41 can be common.

[0026] (5) The first battery 40 and the second battery 41 each have two modules 42 to 45 arranged side by side in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Therefore, the height of the first battery 40 and the second battery 41 is lower than when the modules 42 to 45 are arranged side by side in the vehicle height direction. This makes it easier to install the first battery 40 and the second battery 41 in limited spaces such as the DW portion under the rear row seats 16 or the luggage area 13. In particular, reducing the height of the second battery 41 reduces the reduction in loading space in the cargo area 18 that occurs when the second battery 41 is installed.

[0027] (6) The first battery 40 is installed outside the vehicle compartment 14. This increases the isolation between the occupant and the first battery 40 compared to when the first battery 40 is installed inside the vehicle compartment 14.

[0028] (Second embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the pickup truck will be described in detail with reference to Figures 5 and 6. In this embodiment, components common to the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configuration and arrangement of the second battery.

[0029] 5 and 6, in the pickup truck 110 of this embodiment, the first battery 40 is disposed below the rear row of seats 16 in the cabin section 11 on the vehicle DW side, and the second battery 141 is disposed in the luggage section 13. However, in this embodiment, the second battery 141 is disposed below the vehicle DW side of the floor panel 18A of the cargo bed 18 and above the vehicle UP side of the side members 31. In this embodiment, the second battery 141 is disposed such that its bottom surface is located below the vehicle DW side of the bottom surface of the first battery 40 and above the vehicle UP side of the top surface of the first battery 49. In other words, the first battery 40 and the second battery 141 overlap in the vehicle height direction.

[0030] As shown in Figure 6, struts 145, which are components of the suspension for the rear wheels 29, are disposed under the floor of the bed 18, inside both side members 31. Therefore, when disposing the second battery 141 under the floor of the bed 18, it is necessary to avoid interference with the struts 145.

[0031] In this embodiment, the second battery 141 includes a first module 142, a second module 143, and a high-voltage electric unit 144. The first module 142 is installed at the front end of the luggage section 13, i.e., in a portion of the luggage section 13 adjacent to the cabin section 11. The second module 143 is arranged at a distance from the first module 142 to the vehicle rearward (RR). The high-voltage electric unit 144 is installed in a portion between the first module 142 and the second module 143 in the vehicle longitudinal direction, connected to the first module 142 and the second module 143, respectively. The high-voltage electric unit 144 is located in a portion between the left and right struts 145.

[0032] The length W1 of the first module 142 in the vehicle width direction and the length W2 of the second module 143 in the vehicle width direction are greater than the distance W0 between the left and right struts 145. In contrast, the length W3 of the high-voltage electric unit 144 in the vehicle width direction is smaller than the distance W0 between the left and right struts 145. The overall shape of this second battery 141 is H-shaped, with the central portion in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction being shorter in the vehicle width direction than the portions at the front FR and rear RR of the vehicle.

[0033] <Effects of the second embodiment> The pickup truck 110 of this embodiment configured as above has the following advantages in addition to the advantages (1) to (3) and (6) described above.

[0034] (7) The second battery 141 has an H-shape in which the central portion in the vehicle longitudinal direction is shorter in the vehicle width direction than the portions at the front FR and rear RR of the vehicle. This makes it easy to arrange the second battery 241 under the floor of the cargo bed 18 while avoiding interference with the struts 145.

[0035] (8) The second battery 141 has two modules, a first module 142 and a second module 143, and a high-voltage electric unit 144. The high-voltage electric unit 144 is located rearward of the first module 142 and forward of the second module 143. This makes it easy to form the second battery 141 into the H-shape described above. Furthermore, because the first module 142, the second module 143, and the high-voltage electric unit 144 are arranged side by side in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, the height of the second battery 141 is kept low. This makes it easy to install the second battery 141 in the narrow space between the floor panel 18A of the cargo bed 18 and the side member 31.

[0036] (9) The bottom surface of the second battery 141 is located lower (DW) than the bottom surface of the first battery 40 and higher (UP) than the top surface of the first battery 49. This makes it easy to route harnesses and the like for electrically connecting the first battery 40 and the second battery 141.

[0037] (Third embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the pickup truck will be described in detail with reference to Figures 7 and 8. In this embodiment, components common to the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. This embodiment differs from the above-described embodiments in the configuration and arrangement of the second battery.

[0038] 7 and 8, in the pickup truck 210 of this embodiment, the first battery 40 is disposed below the rear row of seats 16 in the cabin section 11 on the vehicle DW side, and the second battery 241 is disposed in the luggage section 13. However, in this embodiment, the second battery 241 is disposed below the vehicle DW side of the floor panel 18A of the cargo bed 18 and above the vehicle UP with respect to the side members 31. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second battery 241 is disposed so that its position in the vehicle height direction is the same as that of the first battery 40.

[0039] The second battery 241 is composed of four modules 242 to 245 arranged side by side in the vehicle longitudinal direction. Each of the modules 242 to 245 is composed of a plurality of cells arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction. Meanwhile, the total number of cells in the second battery 241 is approximately the same as the total number of cells in the first battery 40, which is composed of two modules 42 and 43. Therefore, while the second battery 241 has approximately the same capacity as the first battery 40, its length W4 in the vehicle width direction is smaller than that of the first battery 40.

[0040] The pickup truck 210 of this embodiment configured as above has the following advantages in addition to the advantages (1) to (3), (6) and (9) described above. (10) The length W4 of the second battery 41 in the vehicle width direction is smaller than the distance between the suspension struts 145 of the left and right rear wheels 29. This makes it easy to place the second battery 241 under the floor of the cargo bed 18 while avoiding interference with the struts 145.

[0041] (11) The modules 242 to 245 that make up the second battery 241 are arranged side by side in the vehicle longitudinal direction. This reduces the height of the second battery 241, making it easier to install the second battery 241 in the narrow space between the floor panel 18A of the cargo bed 18 and the side member 31.

[0042] (Other embodiments) The above embodiment can be modified as follows: The above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other within the scope of technical compatibility.

[0043] <Location of high-voltage electrical units> The high-voltage electric unit 46, 47, 144 may be provided in only one of the first battery 40 and the second battery 41, 141, 241.

[0044] The high-voltage electric units 46, 47, 144 may be separate from the first battery 40 and the second battery 41, 141, 241. <Battery configuration> The number and arrangement of modules of the first battery 40 and the second battery 41, 141, 241 may be changed. For example, the modules may be arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction or vehicle height direction.

[0045] The first battery 40 may be disposed inside the passenger compartment 14. That is, the first battery 40 may be disposed in the cabin portion 11 below the rear row seats 16 and above the floor panel 14A of the passenger compartment 14.

[0046] In the pickup truck 110 of the second embodiment, the high-voltage electric unit 144 is disposed in the center of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction, thereby forming an H-shape for the second battery 141. The second battery 141 may be shaped in an H-shape in other ways. For example, a module made up of a plurality of cells arranged side by side in the vehicle width direction may be disposed in the front FR portion of the vehicle and in the rear RR portion of the vehicle. Then, the module made up of a plurality of cells arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle may be disposed in the center of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction, thereby forming the second battery 141 in an H-shape.

[0047] <Other> The engine 20 may have a cylinder arrangement other than a V-type. The engine 20 may also be arranged transversely in the engine compartment 17.

[0048] The arrangement of the propeller shaft 25, exhaust pipe 33, muffler 34, fuel tank 35, etc. under the floor of the pickup truck 10, 110, 210 may be changed as appropriate. For example, the pickup truck 10, 110, 210 may be configured so that the propeller shaft 25 is located between the exhaust pipe 33 and the fuel tank 35 in the vehicle width direction.

[0049] The configuration of the drive train of the pickup trucks 10, 110, and 210 can be changed as needed. For example, the drive train may be configured so that the front wheels 27 and the rear wheels 29 are driven by independent drive trains, or the drive train may be configured so that the pickup truck is a front-wheel drive vehicle.
