Claim 19:
20. An electrically propelled vehicle (1) comprising:
four wheels (2);
at least one electric powertrain system (3) comprising at least one reversible electric machine (4); and
a power storage system (6) comprising: a container (7) provided with a lower wall (8);
and a plurality of modules (10), which are housed inside the container (7) and directly rest on the lower wall (8);
wherein each module (10) comprises a group of electrochemical cells (11) and two containing walls (12), which are perpendicular to the lower wall (8) of the container (7) and are arranged parallel to one another on opposite sides of the group of electrochemical cells (11) so as to clamp the group of electrochemical cells (11) between them;
wherein each containing wall (12) has several tubular connection bodies (16), which are arranged both in an area of edges of the containing wall (12) and between the edges of the containing wall (12), and wherein each containing wall (12) has, for each tubular connection body (16) arranged between the edges of the containing wall (12), a corresponding recess (20), which reproduces in negative a shape of the tubular connection body (16) and is coaxial to the tubular connection body (16);
wherein a plurality of locking elements (17) are provided, which are fixed to the lower wall (8), project perpendicularly from the lower wall (8) and engage the connection bodies (16);
wherein at least two adjacent modules (10) have two corresponding connection bodies (16) which are aligned with and overlap one another and are both engaged by a same locking element (17);
wherein each module (10) comprises two head walls (13), which are arranged perpendicularly to the two containing walls (12) and have a smaller mechanical sturdiness than a mechanical sturdiness of the containing walls (12); and
wherein the power storage system (6) is mounted in the vehicle (1) so as to place the containing walls (12) crosswise relative to a forward direction (D) of the vehicle.
