The electric vehicle according to the present disclosure is configured to be able to select a traveling mode between an MT mode in which an electric motor is controlled with torque characteristics like an MT vehicle having a manual transmission and an internal combustion engine, and an EV mode in which the electric motor is controlled with normal torque characteristics. The controller of the electric vehicle controls the electric motor in the MT mode such that responsiveness of the motor torque with respect to a change in the operation amount of the accelerator pedal is lower than in the EV mode.

An electronic system housing for an E-axle drive of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The electronic system housing comprises a power electronic system received within the electronic system housing for processing voltage in high voltage systems. At least one low voltage component is further received within the electronic system housing.

A system for controlling work vehicles used for towing agricultural implements across a field includes an implement controller supported on and configured to control an operation of an agricultural implement, and at least one sensor communicatively coupled to the implement controller. The sensor(s) is configured to provide an indication of a location of the agricultural implement within the field. The implement controller is configured to: access a field map; anticipate a change in loading of one or more of the ground-engaging tools of the implement based on the location of the implement relative to the field map; and transmit a request instructing a vehicle controller of a work vehicle towing the agricultural implement to initiate a control action associated with adjusting at least one vehicle-related operational parameter to accommodate the anticipated change.

A double pedal system for an industrial truck, comprising a first spring-reset pedal, a second spring-reset pedal. The first and the second spring-reset pedals are provided so as to be mechanically independent of one another, and are each provided with a device for electronically capturing the current actuation path of the corresponding pedal. A control unit which is operatively coupled to the devices for electronically capturing the actuation paths of the two pedals, and is designed to determine a travel target value from the current actuation paths of the two pedals. The invention furthermore relates to an industrial truck comprising a double pedal system of this kind, and to a method for operating the double pedal system.

A customizable power and propulsion kit includes is shown and described. The customizable power and propulsion kit includes an enclosure, an electric motor disposed in the enclosure, a battery disposed in the enclosure and electrically connected to the electric motor, and a connection point disposed on the enclosure, wherein the connection point facilitates connection of the kit to an object.

A vehicle corner module (VCM) is provided for regulating motion of a host vehicle which comprises a vehicle-onboard vehicle-controller. The VCM comprises a sub-frame mountable to a reference frame of the host vehicle; a wheel-hub assembly comprising a wheel-hub; VCM-sub-systems mediating between the sub-frame and the wheel-hub assembly, e.g., a drive subsystem, a steering subsystem, a suspension subsystem and/or a braking subsystem; and an VCM-onboard VCM-controller, comprising one or more processors and a computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to establish a communication link with a vehicle-controller, including electronically transferring information about the VCM from the VCM-controller to the vehicle-controller, and to perform, in response to an installation of the VCM on a vehicle, a post-installation validation-process that includes validating the VCM-subsystems and communicating a result of the validating to the vehicle-controller.

Systems and methods for operating a vehicle that includes an engine that may be automatically stopped and started are described. In one example, an engine may be automatically stopped in response to an electric assisted braking threshold level that is adjusted responsive to vehicle speed so that opportunities to automatically stop an engine may be increased, thereby conserving fuel.
