A transmission system is that includes a multi-speed gearbox. The multi-speed gearbox, in one example, includes a dual-clutch assembly configured to selectively engage a primary shaft and/or a second primary shaft and an electric drive clutch configured to selectively engage an electric drive interface gear, wherein the electric drive interface gear is positioned axially between two gears on the first or second primary shafts. The transmission system further includes a controller including instructions that when executed, during a first operating condition, cause the controller to operate the dual-clutch assembly to transfer mechanical power between an internal combustion engine (ICE) and the first primary shaft or the second primary shaft or operate the electric drive clutch to transfer mechanical power between an electric machine and the first primary shaft, the second primary shaft, or a secondary shaft.

Methods and systems for a vehicle transmission are provided. A transmission system includes, in one example, an intermediate shaft rotationally coupled to an input shaft and an output shaft, wherein the input shaft is configured to receive rotational input from an electric machine. The system further includes a first gear coupled to the intermediate shaft, and a plurality of clutches coupled to the input shaft and the output shaft and configured to in a first mode, transfer power directly between a second gear coupled to the input shaft, the first gear, and a third gear coupled to the output shaft, and in a second mode, transfer power indirectly between the second gear, the first gear, and/or the third gear.

A power transmitting apparatus for a vehicle achieves seven forward speeds with a minimal number of input gears disposed on input shafts, since the second speed gear and the fourth speed gear are simultaneously engaged with the second input gear and the third speed gear and the seventh speed gear are simultaneously engaged with the third input gear, and distortion of step ratios at the high-speed region may be prevented.

In an apparatus for controlling an automatic transmission having gear engaging mechanisms installed to engage one of gears to establish n-th speed when supplied with hydraulic pressure discharged from an oil pump driven by a prime mover, an electromagnetic pressure-regulating valve installed to pressure-regulate the hydraulic pressure, an electromagnetic shift valve installed at a hydraulic passage to supply the hydraulic pressure to the gear engaging mechanisms, and a current supply circuit to supply current to the solenoid valve, cut-off of current supply to the solenoid valve from the current supply circuit is delayed by a predetermined time period, when the ignition switch is turned off.

A powershift transmission for agricultural machines, which is of modular design and has a first part (1) with a splitter group (3) and a second part (2) with a multi-speed transmission (4). The splitter group (3) is designed such that the rotational direction of the input shaft (5) and the rotational direction of the output shaft (8) remain the same, even when shifts are carried out in the splitter group (3).

A control device of a gear transmission-equipped vehicle includes a power controller that starts power reduction control when it is determined that a start condition is satisfied, the power reduction control being control of reducing power transmitted from a driving source to a gear transmission. The start condition includes: a condition that a detection value of a gear position sensor that detects a current gear position of the gear transmission falls within a transition region between engagement regions corresponding to respective gear positions; and a condition that a speed difference obtained by subtracting a rotational speed of an output shaft of the gear transmission from a rotational speed of an input shaft of the gear transmission is a threshold or more.

A power transmission apparatus of an electric vehicle includes a motor shaft fixed to a drive motor and receiving the torque of the drive motor, a first input shaft disposed on a same axis with and selectively connectable to the motor shaft, a second input shaft coaxially disposed with the first input shaft, and selectively connectable to the motor shaft, front and rear wheel driving devices for driving front and wheels, a first shifting section for shifting a torque of the first input shaft and selectively transmit the shifted torque to the front wheel driving device, a second shifting section for shifting a torque of the second input shaft and selectively output the shifted torque, and a mode conversion unit of transferring an output torque of the second shifting section to at least one of the front wheel driving device and the rear wheel driving device.

A transmission includes a first power transmitting path of gears that obtains odd number speeds and has an output part, a second power transmitting path of gears that obtains even number speeds and has an output part; a first gear shifting part incorporated in the first power transmitting path to obtain one of the odd number speeds, a second gear shafting part incorporated in the second power transmitting path to obtain one of the even number speeds, and a path shifting part that is arranged between the first and second power transmitting parts. The path shifting part shifts the first second power transmitting paths to output power to the output shaft.

A cooling assembly fluidly communicating with a vehicle cooling system includes a coolant tube and a mounting plate. The cooling assembly is configured for cooling a support bearing disposed in a dual clutch transmission. The coolant tube includes (i) an inlet end that receives a cooling medium, (ii) an outlet end that returns the cooling medium to the vehicle cooling system and (iii) a heat transfer portion incorporated between the inlet end and the outlet end. The mounting plate has a plate body including a bearing opposing surface and a transmission housing opposing surface. The bearing opposing surface contacts the support bearing. The heat transfer portion of the coolant tube is attached to the mounting plate such that cooling medium communicated through the coolant tube reduces temperature of the mounting plate and therefore the support bearing.

The power transmission device includes an internal-combustion engine 25, a drive-source-side shaft, a flywheel 30 provided on the drive-source-side shaft 2, a speed changer 10, which has an input shaft and an output, and clutches C1 and C2 capable of releasably transmitting the power between the drive-source-side shaft 2 and the input shaft, wherein the internal-combustion engine 25 and the speed changer 10 are disposed in the traveling direction of the vehicle. A differential gear mechanism 101 and a drive shaft 201, which are positioned between the flywheel 30 and the clutches C1 and C2 so as to be orthogonal to the drive-source-side shaft 2 and which transmit the power output from the speed changer 10 to left and right drive wheels RW, are provided. The drive shaft 201 is disposed above the central axis of rotation of the drive-source-side shaft 2.
