Methods and systems are provided for an electric vehicle powertrain. The vehicle system includes an electric distribution assembly with a junction box that is electrically coupled to a traction motor-generator and is designed to electrically coupled to, via separate circuits, a traction battery assembly and a hydrogen fuel cell assembly that is positioned behind a vehicle cab. In the system, the traction battery assembly is positioned vertically below the hydrogen fuel cell assembly.

Electric powertrain and method for operation of said powertrain

Methods and systems are provided for an electric heavy-duty vehicle. In one example, the vehicle includes a battery pack for supplying current to an electric motor of the vehicle, the battery pack arranged in a chassis of the vehicle and configured to form part of a floor of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a motor coupled to front wheels of the vehicle, the front wheels having hub assemblies housing drive shaft adapters configured to permanently couple the hub assemblies to drive shafts of the front wheels, and a cradle configured to be mounted with electrical sub-systems of the vehicle.

Systems and methods for an electrified heavy-duty vehicle

Methods and systems are provided for an automated door system for a vehicle. In one example, the automated door system may include a key fob configured with a transmitter. A set of sensors may be located at a door of the vehicle which may be communicatively linked to a vehicle control unit. A position of the key fob relative to the door may be monitored by the set of sensors to provide hands-free actuation of the door motor.

Automated door system

Methods and systems are provided for an automated door system for a vehicle. In one example, the automated door system may include a set of manual actuating devices and a set of hands-free actuating devices for automatically unlocking and opening the doors of a commercial vehicle used for transporting cargo. The manual and hands-free actuating devices may be used in response to the operating state of the vehicle.

Methods and systems are provided for an automated door system for a vehicle. In one example, the method for a vehicle may include operating an automated door system to enable hands-free actuation of a set of door vehicles while the height of the vehicle is not changing and when the vehicle height is changing, suspending operation of the automated door system until the floor has stopped changing height.

Methods and systems are provided for adjusting a height of an electric vehicle with an adjustable suspension system. In one example, a method comprises: during a vehicle stop event, adjusting a height of a skateboard frame of an electric vehicle via an adjustable suspension system, based on at least one sensor input indicative of a desired skateboard frame height. In this way, user activities, including loading and unloading, may be facilitated.
