Original Abstract Submitted
A modular system for a vehicle. The modular system includes a plurality of energy source modules configured to be connected to or included in a propulsion system of a vehicle, each one of the energy source modules having a rectangular cross-section. The modular system also includes a support structure operatively connectable to a chassis of the vehicle, the support structure defining a space for receiving said energy source modules. At least one of the energy source modules is a pressurized vessel containing a gas. The invention also relates to a vehicle and to an installation method.
