An electric truck that travels by electric power supplied from a battery includes a ladder frame including a pair of side rails, where the side rails face each other in a vehicle width direction, and a power supply unit including the battery, where the power supply unit is disposed between the side rails and is connected to the side rails. The side rails each have flanges having a predetermined width provided at each edge of a respective web. At least one of the flanges at a location facing a corner of the power supply unit as viewed in the vehicle width direction has a narrowed flange portion having a width smaller than the predetermined width.
1. An electric truck that travels by electric power supplied from a battery, comprising:
a ladder frame including a pair of side rails, wherein the side rails face each other in a vehicle width direction; and
a power supply unit including the battery, wherein the power supply unit is disposed between the side rails and is connected to the side rails;
wherein the side rails each have flanges having a predetermined width provided at each edge of a respective web;
wherein a first one of the flanges at a first location facing a first corner of the power supply unit as viewed in the vehicle width direction has a first narrowed flange portion having a width smaller than the predetermined width.
2. The electric truck according to claim 1 , wherein a second one of the flanges at a second location facing a second corner of the power supply unit as viewed in the vehicle width direction has a second narrowed flange portion having the width smaller than the predetermined width.
3. The electric truck according to claim 2 , wherein the first corner and the second corner of the power supply unit are vehicle front-side corners of the power supply unit.
4. The electric truck according to claim 2 , wherein the first corner and the second corner of the power supply unit are vehicle rear-side corners of the power supply unit.
5. The electric truck according to claim 1 , wherein the first narrowed flange portion has an arc-shaped outline.
