1. A vehicle chassis platform, comprising:
a frame having a front frame end, a rear frame end, a longitudinal frame axis, an upper frame surface, a bottom frame surface, opposing lateral frame surfaces disposed on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis and a transverse frame axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal frame axis and extending between the opposing lateral frame surfaces, wherein the upper frame surface is substantially flat;
an electrical-vehicle battery (EVB), an EVB compartment or both at least partly positioned in an area between the opposing lateral frame surfaces and along the transverse frame axis; and
at least one of: a pair of opposing drivetrain units, a pair of opposing steering units, and a pair of opposing braking units, coupled to the frame at the opposing lateral frame surfaces along the transverse frame axis;
wherein no component of any of the at least one of: the pair of opposing drivetrain units, the pair of opposing steering units, and the pair of opposing braking units is positioned in at least one of:
(i) an area beneath the bottom frame surface and between the opposing lateral frame surfaces, and
(ii) an area above the upper frame surface and between the opposing lateral frame surfaces.
