A vehicle is provided including an electronic power steering system, an electronic throttle control system, and a stability control system.

Vehicular front axle powertrain, which uses an electric motor with an external rotor is for driving and braking of the front axles of vehicles with wheels which also or only use electrical power. It consists of an electric engine (1) with an external rotor or rotor extension (1.2), which is also a generator working as a brake. The rotor or rotor extension (1.2) connects to a clutch (3), which guards against overload and may have a disc brake (3.I) mounted, which carries excess braking force. The clutch (3) connects to an internal joint (4), which connects to a shaft (5), which has an external homokinetic joint (6) with a hub shaft (6.2) for the vehicle's wheel. Rotational energy goes from the electric motor (I) without mechanical losses to the hub shaft (6.2) and back, while the hub shaft (6.2) can move relative to the stator in the (SA) and (SB) directions.

A device for closing a motor vehicle front end air intake is disclosed. The device has a support frame in which at least one set of pivoting slats is installed. At least one control element that controls the positioning of the slats includes an actuator having fixing holes, a housing that receives the actuator, and a cap that comes to cover the housing. The cooperation between the cap and the housing being effected by clipping. The housing includes positioning elements to be inserted into the fixing holes, and the cap includes at least one specific shape that keeps the actuator fixed relative to the positioning elements when clipping the cap onto the housing.

An electric drive unit for a hybrid drive, in particular for a vehicle, has an increased power output and degree of efficiency, while thermal loading as well as required installation space and manufacturing costs are minimized. The electric drive unit has an asynchronous machine with a rotor with a rotor cage, in particular a rotor cage which is formed with copper conductors. The asynchronous machine is formed with a stator having a shaft winding. The shaft winding is formed with a device for star-delta changeover. The rotor is formed with a rotor internal cooling device. A step-up gear mechanism is arranged in a power train between the rotor and the output element. There is also described a hybrid drive device with an electric drive unit, and a vehicle that has an electric drive unit and/or a hybrid drive device.

A system includes a fuel tank and a fuel vapour cooling arrangement connected to the fuel tank. The fuel vapour cooling arrangement is arranged to receive fuel vapour evaporated from the fuel in the fuel tank. In the fuel vapour cooling arrangement, the evaporated fuel is condensed into liquid fuel. The fuel vapour cooling arrangement is arranged outside of the fuel tank. A valve is arranged between the fuel tank and the fuel vapour cooling arrangement to control the opening and closing of the connection between the fuel tank and the fuel vapour cooling arrangement.

A motor vehicle includes a first time switch and a second time switch for controlling a preparation function for an operation of the motor vehicle. A set first time switch overrides a set second time switch. A method for controlling the preparation function includes determining an expected utilization time of the motor vehicle; determining that the first time switch is not set; outputting a specific utilization time and detecting a confirmation of the specific utilization time; and setting the first time switch to the specific utilization time.
