Original Abstract Submitted
An electric work vehicle includes a body, a travel device in the body, a motor to drive the travel device, an inverter to supply power to the motor, an electric component, a DC/DC converter to convert a voltage of power to be supplied to the electric component, a radiator to cool coolant, and a cooling path through which the coolant cooled by the radiator circulates through the motor, the inverter, and the DC/DC converter and returns to the radiator. The cooling path extends from the radiator, passes through the inverter, the motor, and the DC/DC converter in this order, and returns to the radiator.
