Interesting modular idea. I see no thermal management heat exchangers visible for batteries, inverters and motors. Nor any HVAC modules for the coach, which would have to be in the 30 ton heatpump range for a 45 passenger vehicle to be on par with typical Diesel coaches

John,

If it is going to be a cargo van, it doesn't need much for HVAC.
If you look at all the pictures, there is a front air intake and some kind of a duct behind the rear tire.

Interesting, but I'll wait.

Matt

Article title says for trucks and busses. Which also would include refer trucks, a large part of food service fleet. Also remember in a 45 passenger bus config, the bodies in seats produce about 100 Watts of heat each, so 4500 Watts before sun load.

But with the option to add more...and they'd all be driven and steerable. I like options. Smile
