The chassis comprises a ladder frame having two longitudinal members and at least one cross member. The electric driving assembly includes an electric motor arranged for generating a driving force, a transmission arranged for adjusting the driving force transmitted from the electric motor, an axle assembly, a torque tube and a differential arranged for splitting the driving force to driving wheels of the heavy goods vehicle, and an assembly housing arranged for housing at least the electric motor of the electric driving assembly. An electric motor-side suspension is arranged for suspending the assembly housing to the chassis frame at a motor-side end region of the assembly housing. The supporting structure configured for supporting the rear axle is formed by the electric driving assembly.

A truck comprises a corner view camera module with a support arm that encloses a downward facing camera device with a lens that protrudes from the support arm. An airflow guide is arranged for directing a local airflow around and across the lens. The airflow guide provides a drip edge to prevent water from dripping onto the lens. The drip edge has an asymmetry in that it has a lowest level upstream the lens and a highest level downstream the lens. At the lowest level the drip edge separates the airflow into a low velocity field and a high velocity field.

A mat for covering a cabin floor of a truck comprises a rear section, arranged for fixating the mat to the cabin floor, and a side section, arranged for extending along a door sill of the truck. The side section provides the mat with a declining surface having a lowest level beyond the door sill. The side section comprises a side wall having at least two mounting portions, each mounting portion extending laterally for engaging with a bottom edge of the door sill, to fixate the side wall between the cabin floor and the door sill.

A commercial vehicle (10), comprising an electric drive unit (100) and a cooling system (200). The cooling system comprises a main circuit line (210) with a pump (212) for pressurizing the main circuit line at a working pressure. An auxiliary circuit line (220) extends from the main circuit line downstream of the pump towards a first auxiliary heat exchanger (221), and comprises a pressure valve (213) that is passively operable between a first state and a second state by the pump adapting the working pressure in the main circuit line. In response to a temperature of the electric drive unit exceeding a temperature threshold, the pump increases the working pressure for thereby operating the pressure valve to switch from the first state to the second state.

The invention relates to a threaded fastening arrangement for mounting a component to a base component, comprising a pair of cooperating fastening parts and a component. The component comprises a slotted hole defined by a slotted hole surface and wherein a first fastening part of the pair of cooperating fastening parts comprises an abutment surface arranged to substantially limit rotation of the first fastening part relative to the component when the abutment surface abuts the slotted hole surface. The slotted hole or the first fastening part comprises a guiding surface contiguous to the abutment surface and shaped to rotate the first fastening part relative to the slotted hole such that the abutment surface abuts the slotted hole surface thereby causing the first fastening part to become rotationally locked with the component.

A truck comprises a camera housing that encloses a camera module. The camera housing is fixated to a fixation area on a cabin interior facing side of a windscreen of the truck. The camera housing comprises a mount section for mounting the camera module to the windscreen at a mounting distance from a roof panel of the truck, for capturing images of an object detection area in front of the truck. A bridge section extends from the mount section towards the roof panel and spans the mounting distance adjacently along the fixation area. The bridge section comprises one or more channels that extend between the camera module and the roof panel, for protectively guiding cables therebetween. The bridge section comprises a clearance that exposes at least part of the fixation area between the camera module and the roof panel.
