A road vehicle comprises an electric motor, a battery module, a chassis comprising a first and a second elongate chassis beam, and a suspension system connecting the chassis to an axle of the vehicle. The suspension system comprises a first and a second suspension sub unit each comprising a longitudinal rod configured to longitudinally limit a movement of the axle and a suspension element configured to limit a vertical movement of the axle, the longitudinal rod being connected to a respective elongate chassis beam via a front hanger. A connection rod connects the first and second suspension sub unit. A battery module mounting system is present for mounting the battery module to the chassis. The battery module mounting system comprises a front and a posterior bracket mounted to the outer surface of a respective elongate chassis beam. The posterior bracket is spaced apart from the front bracket for receiving a battery module of the battery module. Each of the brackets is a triangularly shaped bracket comprising a chassis beam attachment portion for connecting the triangularly shaped bracket to an outer surface of an elongate chassis beam, an angled portion extending upwardly between a lower edge of the chassis beam attachment portion and an upper horizontal portion of the triangularly shaped bracket. The suspension element is a stabilizer rod having an upper and a lower end, the upper end being attached to the lower edge of the chassis beam attachment portion, the lower end being connected to the connection rod.
