DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00013] The arena of technology pertaining to transportation has undergone a tremendous
transformation over the years, such that the present concentration is focused upon the efficiency and cost of manufacturing, which includes the cost of materials, assembly cost, cost of inventory handling etc. Simultaneously, there has also been need in the industry to provide stronger, lighter and economically advantageous vehicles that consume less power. Electric power storage device driven vehicles happen to be eco- friendly, in line with the Go Green initiative of various organizations. These Vehicles may be two, three or four wheelers depending upon the requirement of the consumer and have multiple applications.
[00014] In automobile vehicle industry, electric vehicles are introduced to control air
pollution caused due to IC engine powered vehicles. Currently, the electric vehicles are classified into two groups, namely pure electric and extended electric vehicles (also known as hybrid vehicles). The hybrid vehicles have a primary electric drive with associated energy storage device and an internal combustion engine coupled to an electric motor/generator.
[00015] In recent years, hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles have become quite popular
due to high oil prices and the environmental impact of pure gasoline fuel consumption vehicles. In particular, the hybrid vehicle has become an intermediate choice for those consumers wishing to reduce fuel consumption while at the same time increase their allowable travel distance. In most developing & under-developed markets, a low-cost three-wheeler is often employed as a popular public mode of transport or a goods carrier

vehicle. In case of a passenger transport layout, the vehicle rear portion is configured with a passenger seating compartment while in case of a goods carrier, the rear portion has a loading trailer platform layout to carry goods. Unlike conventional four wheeled vehicles, the three-wheeled vehicle is compact, highly weight efficient & economical mode of transport.
[00016] Typically, such multi-track vehicles have a steering axis disposed centrally along
the longitudinal mid-plane of the vehicle with the rider seated co-axially in the same mid-plane. Such vehicles are commonly powered by IC engines & electrification of such public transport vehicles has been of much interest to bring down emissions. Any major alteration or modification on a vehicle to adapt to different powertrains for given product is undesirable owing to adverse impact on manufacturing complexity, variety, logistics, supply chain challenges as well as cost. Often a manufacturer prefers to have a platform product solution wherein a basic structure of the vehicle can be common across the types of powertrains used. This enables great flexibility for the manufacturer to operate with a standardized platform of product across various markets, variants etc. with different powertrains e.g. IC engine or Hybrid etc. depending on the requirements.
[00017] The hybrid vehicles have distinct advantage of allowing longer travel, as at least
one source is always available to drive the vehicle. Hence, there is reduced risk of running out of fuel as it may potentially occur with a traditional internal combustion powered vehicle. The hybrid vehicle can operate as an IC engine vehicle or as an electric vehicle or even as both. For example, driving on terrain or for long distances, IC engine can be used and for shorter distances electric propulsion system can be used.
[00018] The electric vehicles using electric motors as a driving source and hybrid vehicles
combining other driving sources such as an electric motor and an engine have been put to practical use. The above-mentioned automobile is equipped with an electrical component like energy storage device, for supplying electric power as electric energy to an electric motor. In this particular type of vehicles, the vehicle's driving force is provided from an energy storage device in order to receive the energy required for driving the vehicle. As the energy storage device, for example, a battery that can be repeatedly charged and discharged, such as a nickel-cadmium battery, a nickel-hydrogen battery, and a lithium-

ion battery, is used. The energy storage device is housed in a case and is installed in the vehicle.
[00019] Therefore, a stack of main energy storage device is typically developed while
maintaining the efficiency of the energy storage device and is placed where the user’s comfort is not compromised. Generally, the main energy storage device provides output of 48 volts and by a DC-DC converter, converts the high voltage into voltage required for the functioning of other electrical components like headlamp. Controller etc. The DC-DC converter converts a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another and only works when the main energy storage device is awake.
[00020] Further, in certain situations, for example, during vehicle collision or accidents at
night or in parked situation, some electrical components like the headlamp etc. requires minimum voltage to be in active state/ON, which leads to draining of the main energy storage device. Also, in other situation, when the vehicle stops in midway because some vehicle breakdown, the controller sends the command to an instrument cluster in form of an error code to alert the user about the reason for vehicle stopping. This requires the main energy storage device to be functional always, which is not possible when the main energy storage gets drained out which can potentially leave the user stranded. This also raises safety concern for the users. In this aspect, that is, to trim the load from the main energy storage device, one more type of energy storage device has been developed namely an auxiliary energy storage device which is a low voltage energy storage device.
[00021] The main energy storage device provides energy or power to a motor of the
vehicle whereas auxiliary energy storage device provides energy or power to an electrical components like headlamp, hazard lamps etc. Auxiliary energy storage device has been developed to trim the load from the main energy storage device. The auxiliary energy storage device provides assistance for power supply by the main energy storage device in order to supply a voltage to electrical components such as an ECU (electronic control unit) operating with a low voltage (e.g., 12 V) and / or in order to wake up the main energy storage device.
[00022] Many of the electrical components employed in vehicles, particularly of the motor
vehicle type, often impose additional electrical loads on the normal power supplies provided with this type of vehicle, especially when the primary energy source is not

operating. Such a load may well result in stress on energy storage device which in turn may cause difficulty in starting the engine and difficulty in charging the energy storage device sufficiently once the engine is operating.
[00023] In view of the extraordinary load upon the main energy storage device caused by
the operation of the electrical components, such as controller, headlamps, tail lamps, other communications equipment, auxiliary power supplies have been provided. The auxiliary power supplies, such as an auxiliary energy storage device, supplement the main energy storage device and often exclusively meet the electrical load constituted by these components. To conserve energy of the low capacity auxiliary energy storage unit to the maximum extent, it is desirable to eliminate any loss of energy including transmission losses. Hence, it is desirable to have short length of wiring harness including disposition of the electrical loads & controller in close proximity. From the above it is apparent that the electrical components like the auxiliary energy storage device, the controller should be closely mounted such that there shall not be any voltage drop as well as any undesirable bends in the routing of the high current carrying wire while maintaining the ease of accessibility and serviceability. Additionally, there also exists a challenge of configuring such critical electrical components in a theft proof & tamper proof manner. However, since the type of three wheeled motor vehicle is provided with compact layout having different essential components conventionally disposed, hence, there exists a constraint of having sufficient space for configuring electrical components like the auxiliary energy storage device, controller etc. . Therefore, there exists a challenge of achieving a compact layout of a three wheeled vehicle where the electrical components like the auxiliary energy storage device, the controller need to be disposed in close proximity in a secure, safe manner while still being easy for assembly and service.
[00024] Generally as per known art, for a three wheeled vehicle, the auxiliary energy
storage device is placed beside a driver seat assembly while the powertrain & control systems being disposed at the rear side of the vehicle closer to the rear wheels. This location of the auxiliary energy storage provides ease of accessibility of the auxiliary energy storage device but raises another problem like theft of the auxiliary energy storage device and increased length of the routing of wires. The increased length of the wire leads to drop of voltage, which adversely affects the efficiency of energy storage device.

[00025] Also, in known art, several electrical components like an auxiliary energy storage
device, a main energy storage device and an energy storage device management system are housed in a common housing member, that is, energy storage device housing member. A controller is housed in a power drive unit. However, because of this location the shortening of wiring harness is ensured, which restricts the bending of the wiring harness etc. The mounting arrangement of the electrical components as discussed above raises another problem of ease of accessibility of the electrical components like energy storage unit, controller etc., while servicing or during replacement..
[00026] Hence, there exists a contradictory challenge of designing a secure housing
member for electrical components for a three wheeled vehicle, which can ensure the safety and ease of accessibility to the user having motor vehicles without any major change in layout design and manufacturing set-up of the vehicle.
[00027] Therefore, there is a need to have an improved layout to configure the housing
member, for housing electrical components like auxiliary energy storage device, a controller, which securely as well as safely protects the electrical components while maintaining the conventional layout of the vehicle and ensures trimming of the load from a main energy storage device and overcoming all the problems cited above. There is a need to have a solution for safe & secure housing member for the electrical components which is ease to access or service while overcoming all of the above problems and other problems of known art.
[00028] The present invention provides a solution to the above problems while meeting
the requirements of minimum modifications in vehicle, at low cost with ease of accessibility etc.
[00029] With the above objectives in view, the present invention relates to the motor
vehicle and more particularly to the improved mounting of the housing member which securely protects the electrical components.
[00030] As per one aspect of the present invention, a motor vehicle is provided with a
frame structure. The frame structure of the motor vehicle includes a head tube, a main frame and a central frame. A floor board is supported on the central frame and extended to the rearward of the vehicle. The floorboard is further divided into the floor board of a front cabin and the floorboard of a rear cabin. The front cabin of the vehicle includes a

driver seat assembly. The driver seat assembly includes a driver seat frame which is housed and attached with various attachment means, for example fasteners, on the top of the central frame and a pair of LH (left hand) side frame member and RH (right hand) side frame member.
