A land vehicle having wholly independent multiple suspension units with integral propulsion systems. The independent suspension unit includes a self-contained return spring, dampener, motor-wheel drive mechanism with attached brake-mechanism, and rotary and linear regenerative devices. The independent suspension system does not require or use an axle. The axleless suspension is mounted to a frame rail of the vehicle, which may be formed generally straight, as there is no axle to accommodate. The vehicle frame includes side rails between which a compartment, such as a battery compartment, may be placed. The frame rails include rollers which facilitate insertion and removal of the compartment between the frame rails. The frame rails also may be formed to enable the passage of conduits, such as fluid transfer or temperature control lines, for routing fluids between the battery compartment and a thermal management system.
