- each secondary cover 814 and 816 has a width less than or equal to half the width of the main cover 812 measured in the width direction of the bus 100.
- the secondary cover 816 is longer than the secondary cover 814.
- Each secondary cover 814 and 816 is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of rotation 818 between an open position allowing access to the interior of the cradle 302 and a closed position preventing access to the cradle 302.
- the axis of rotation 818 is offset from the upper edge 820 of the bus 100, located on the side of the side wall 104, so that access to the interior of the cradle 302 is formed from the upper edge 820 of the bus 100.
- Each secondary cover 814-816 is provided with a cylinder (not visible), articulated, unfolding during the opening of said cover 814-816.
- the articulated jack can be fixed on the main cover 812, or on a frame of the secondary cover 814-816, or on a frame of the upper wall 110, so that when the secondary cover 814-816 is open, the articulated jack unfolds and holds said secondary cover 814-816 in the open position.
- Each secondary cover 814-816 is provided with a lock (not visible) for locking said secondary cover 814-816 on the main cover 812, or on a frame of the secondary cover 814-816, or on a frame of the wall 110, so that when the hood is in the closed position, it can not be opened unexpectedly and without authorization.
- Each secondary cover 814 and 816 can be made of steel, aluminum or plastic.
- the vehicle according to the invention offers two different access modes in the cradle 302: a main access by the main cover 812 to perform a heavy operation of large scale and access by the secondary covers 814 and 816 to achieve a lighter operation, for example maintenance operations on a technical area in the cradle 302.
- Each secondary cover 814 and 816 being smaller than the main cover 812, its opening is simpler, more ergonomic, less dangerous and without specific tools.
- each secondary cover 814 and 816 may be provided sufficiently small to be able to be opened in a confined environment, in which the hoods of vehicles of the state of the art can not be opened.
- the invention is not limited to the examples detailed above.
- the invention is not limited to buses and can for example be applied to tram-buses and other public transport vehicles.
- the vehicle according to the invention may comprise at least one locking means in position of the upper storage module or modules in the cradle, or more generally with the chassis of the vehicle.
- the number of storage modules corresponds to the maximum of electrical energy storage modules depending in particular on the weight of the vehicle and the autonomy considered sufficient for the operation of the vehicle.
