Support device for vehicular battery pack and electric truck
A support device for a vehicular battery pack that is mounted under side rails constituting a ladder frame of a vehicle and that includes a pair of battery side-faces each of which faces outward in a vehicle width direction and is located outside in the vehicle width direction further than the side rails. The support device includes a battery-side bracket that includes an opposing plate facing one of the battery side-faces and receives the vehicular battery pack. A frame-side bracket couples the battery-side bracket to one of the side rails. A patterned opening unit is provided with a plurality of holes formed on the opposing plate of the battery-side bracket and mounts an on-board device on the battery-side bracket via at least one of the plurality of holes, the plurality of holes being arranged in a predetermined pattern.
