A universal chassis frame for medium-duty weight class electric trucks that interfaces with any of a set of multiple configurable rear payload modules. The universal chassis frame includes a central frame having a pair of main frame rails supporting at least two battery modules substantially within an intra-frame space defined between the pair of main frame rails and between at least a pair of cross members transversely interconnected to the pair of main frame rails. A front subframe supports a cab and includes a pair of upper frame members mounted directly above the main frame rails, and a front axle unit mounted under the front subframe. A rear subframe includes a common connection interface to any of the set of multiple configurable rear units and at least one rear axle unit mounted under the rear subframe. Each axle unit has a single electric motor powered by a battery management system.
