An electric work vehicle includes a housing, a first motor connected to a first gearing to drive a first wheel, the first motor being supported by the housing, a second motor to a second gearing to drive a second wheel, the second motor being supported by the housing, a first shift rod to shift the first gearing between a first position of the first gearing and a second position of the first gearing, a second shift rod to shift the second gearing between a first position of the second gearing and a second position of the second gearing, and a cam to be rotated between a first cam position and a second cam position.

Electric work vehicle

An electric work vehicle includes a chassis, a battery housing supported by the chassis, a rear axle, and an isolation structure. The chassis includes an intermediate frame attached to a rear portion of the battery housing. The intermediate frame is located between the battery housing and the rear axle in a front-rear direction of the electric work vehicle. The intermediate frame includes a plurality of wall portions that define an interior space. At least one of the plurality of wall portions includes a wall surface that faces the interior space. The isolation structure is attached to the wall surface.

An electric work vehicle includes a housing, a motor to drive to a wheel, the motor being supported by the housing, a gearing including a plurality of gears, and a locking assembly including a pawl. The motor is connected to the gearing to drive the wheel. The locking assembly is operable to lock an outermost gear of the plurality of gears in a left-right direction of the electric work vehicle. The outermost gear includes a first diameter portion and a second diameter portion that is larger than the first diameter portion. The first diameter portion is located outside of the second diameter portion in the left-right direction of the electric work vehicle. The pawl is operable to engage with the first diameter portion to lock the outermost gear from rotating.

An electric work vehicle includes a rear housing, a motor to drive a rear wheel, the motor being supported by the rear housing, a hydraulic system including a hydraulic system motor to drive a hydraulic pump, and a control lever to control an operation of the hydraulic system. The rear housing houses the hydraulic system motor and the motor. The control lever is located on a first side of a center line of the electric work vehicle in a left-right direction of the electric work vehicle. The hydraulic system motor is located on a second side of the center line of the electric work vehicle in the left-right direction of the electric work vehicle.

An electric work vehicle includes a chassis, a battery housing supported by the chassis, and a rear axle. The chassis includes an intermediate frame attached to a rear portion of the battery housing. The intermediate frame is located between the battery housing and the rear axle in a front-rear direction of the electric work vehicle. The intermediate frame includes a depression on a rear surface of the intermediate frame.
