An electric machine disposed within a housing includes a stator, a rotor, and one or more point field detectors. The stator receives current from an inverter. The rotor is connected to and rotating a shaft based on a magnetic field generated by the stator. The one or more point field detectors are configured to detect leakage flux within the housing. The stator, the rotor and the one or more point field detectors are disposed within the housing.

A wheel end disconnect assembly includes a housing, a shift ring, a shift fork and an actuator. The shift ring is supported for axial translation relative to the housing between a connected position in which the shift ring couples an input member to a wheel hub for rotation therewith and a disconnected position in which the input member and the wheel hub are rotatable relative to each other. The shift fork includes a first arm portion, a second arm portion, and an input portion extending from a junction of the first and second arm portions. The shift fork is pivotably coupled to the housing at the junction of the first and second arm portions. The actuator is configured to move the input portion to pivot the first and second arm portions such that the first and second arm portions translate the shift ring between the connected and disconnected positions.

A power delivery system includes a turbocharger assist device and an inverter. The turbocharger assist device is mechanically connected to a turbocharger that is operably coupled to an engine, and is configured to generate electric current based on rotation of a rotor of the turbocharger. The inverter is electrically connected to the turbocharger assist device via a bus, and is configured to receive the electric current generated by the turbocharger assist device via the bus and supply the electric current to power a load.

A diff-lock operation shaft 50 is supported by a case 11 in such a manner as to be rotatable around an axis P1 of the diff-lock operation shaft 50 and operates a diff-lock section 48 to a lock position A2 by being rotated, and a first coil spring 51 is wound around the outer surface of the diff-lock operation shaft 50 concentrically with the diff-lock operation shaft 50, and is linked at one end portion 51b to the diff-lock operation shaft 50 and at another end portion 51a to linking members 55 and 56. The first coil spring 51 is twisted around the axis P1 via the linking members 55 and 56 by the manual operation tool 58 being operated, and the diff-lock operation shaft 50 is rotated via the first coil spring 51.

A vehicle driving apparatus includes: a rotary shaft having an axial hole that opens in its axial end; a casing storing the rotary shaft; a bearing provided between the casing and the rotary shaft; and a lubrication mechanism for supplying an oil into an opening of the axial hole. The casing is provided with: a recessed portion defined by a wall surface of the casing and located on a side of the axial end of the rotary shaft, such that the axial end of the rotary shaft and the bearing are located in the recessed portion; an oil hole communicating with the recessed portion; and a projecting portion projecting from the wall surface toward the opening and having a distal end located inside the axial hole. The bearing, the wall surface and the projecting portion cooperate to surround a surrounded space that communicates with the opening of the axial hole.

An electric drive axle of a vehicle includes an electric motor having an output shaft. An idler assembly is drivingly coupled to the electric motor and a differential. The idler assembly includes a first gear-clutch assembly to facilitate a first gear ratio and a second gear-clutch assembly to facilitate a second gear ratio.

A transmission may include an input shaft, a first output shaft, a second output shaft, a first planetary gearset, and a second planetary gearset connected to the first planetary gearset. Optionally, the input shaft is connected to a first element of the first planetary gearset for conjoint rotation, the first output shaft is connected to a second element of the first planetary gearset for conjoint rotation, and the second output shaft is connected to a third element of the second planetary gearset for conjoint rotation. A third element of the first planetary gearset may be connected to a first element of the second planetary gearset via a shaft for conjoint rotation, and a second element of the second planetary gearset may be fixed in place on a non-rotating component.

An integrated multi-port solenoid valve, comprising: at least two sub-solenoid valves (20), each sub-solenoid valve (20) comprising at least two connection ports; and at least one first joint (30), each first joint (30) comprising at least two connection joints, wherein at least one first connection port in the at least two connection ports is used for connection to other sub-solenoid valves (20), each first joint (30) is used for connecting any two sub-solenoid valves (20), and each connector joint is connected to the first connection port. The present integrated multi-port solenoid valve integrates multiple sub-solenoid valves, and any connection ports of each sub-solenoid valve is communicated with each other to meet control requirements of a variety of working conditions. The integrated multi-port solenoid valve has lightweight design, few components, a light weight, and low cost of use. Also provided are a vehicle thermal management system and a vehicle.

An apparatus structured to control an electric vehicle accessory of an electric vehicle during a charge event includes a controller communicatively coupled to a battery and an electric vehicle accessory. The controller is structured to determine that the battery of an electric vehicle is undergoing a charge event, and based on determining that the battery of the electric vehicle is undergoing the charge event, place the electric vehicle accessory in an on-state during the charge event, and cause the electric vehicle accessory to recharge by absorbing energy from the charging station during the charge event.
