A heat transfer panel 18 has a composite construction and comprises a core 21 sandwiched between first 22 and second 23 outer sheets. A fluid passage 24 in the core 21 conveys thermal fluid. The core 21 may be a solid foam material and the outer sheets 22, 23 may be made of materials with differing thermal conductivity. The fluid passage 24 may be connected to a thermal management unit (25, Fig. 1) which may heat or cool the thermal fluid. A vehicle chassis (10, Fig. 7), a vehicle and a method of managing temperature in a vehicle chassis (10, Fig. 7) are also claimed. The chassis (10, Fig. 7) may comprise a heat transfer panel 18 connected to a chassis frame (11, Fig. 1). The panel 18 may be used to manage the temperature of a battery module (20, Fig. 1) contained in the chassis (10, Fig, 7). The panel is particularly suitable for use in an electric vehicle.
