Protection arrangement for high-voltage battery of hybrid commercial motor vehicle, has deformation elements arranged outside of battery for absorption of crash energy during force application caused by accident

摘要

The arrangement (24) has deformation elements i.e. rods (32, 34), arranged outside of a battery (22) in a vehicle transverse direction for absorption of crash energy during a force application caused by an accident. The deformation elements form a frame that surrounds the battery at three sides, where the battery is held at a frame longitudinal beam (14) of a commercial vehicle. The deformation elements are formed from a high-strength material e.g. steel and composite plastic. The deformation elements are arranged at a distance to each other so that a sufficient deformation space is formed.
