1. An electric drive work vehicle having a front end and a rear end, a longitudinal axis extending from the front end to the rear end of the work vehicle, the work vehicle including:
- a chassis;
an operator cab supported by the chassis, the operator cab housing an operator of the work vehicle;
a platform supported by the chassis, the platform providing access to the operator cab;
an engine;
at least one traction device positioned to support the chassis on the ground;
at least one electric traction motor operatively coupled to the at least one traction device to propel the chassis across the ground;
at least one power distribution system that distributes power from the engine to the at least one electric traction motor; and
a cabinet that houses the at least one power distribution system, at least a portion of the cabinet being located above the platform and longitudinally forward of the engine, and the cabinet being recessed in the platform such that another portion of the cabinet extends beneath the platform.
