Toyota Motor filed a patent for an underbody design intended to improve battery durability in electric off-road vehicles. The design supports the battery primarily from the center of the frame. It incorporates a rotating joint at one end, allowing the frame to twist during rough terrain excursions without transmitting stress to the battery pack. The approach is intended to protect batteries from flex-related damage and may enable larger battery installations without major changes to a vehicle's structure.
