The invention seeks to provide a system of modular component clusters for use with vehicles such as electric utility vehicles, allowing for rapid and straightforward field repair. Vehicle components arc arranged within cluster modules, the modules being releasably and operably connectable to the vehicle and adapted to provide tor easy diagnosis of component failures. The cluster modules are designed to be independently exchanged in and out of the vehicle should any single component in a cluster fail, without the need for onsite service. Removal and replacement of a cluster module requires only minimal mechanical skill and the faulty module can then be out- shopped for repair. The system provides for more simplified maintenance of vehicles where moving the entire vehicle to a service location might be impractical.
