Battery swapping systems for electric heavy duty vehicles for range extension
Abstract
This topic has been submitted as a request for the development of a DIN SPEC according to the PAS procedure. DIN SPECs are developed within DIN-SPEC-consortiums set up on a temporary basis. In the attached business plan you will find detailed information on the planned project as well as concrete time limits for commenting on the business plan (four-week commentary period) and for registering for the kick-off. This document will be developed and approved by the authors named in the business plan. This DIN SPEC is intended to define general requirements for battery swapping systems in electric heavy-duty vehicles for automated battery swapping stations. The described battery swapping system can be applied to both full battery replacements and partial swaps for extending vehicle range. The DIN SPEC will define position of and requirements for the interface between battery and vehicle. The connection of this interface will be based upon existing connectors (HV, LV, communication and cooling). The DIN SPEC will define general framing parameter for both battery and installation space in the vehicle. The DIN SPEC will describe the mounting and unmounting process within the vehicle, but not the process of handling the battery outside the vehicle. For security and safety related requirements the DIN SPEC will refer to existing standards and not define own or new security and safety related requirements. Furthermore, occupational health and safety related measures are not the subject of the document.
