An electro-hydraulic actuation system for a sprayer comprises a hydraulic system, a hydraulic actuator, an electric actuator and a sprayer. The hydraulic system is for pressurizing a hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic actuator is powered by the hydraulic system. The electric actuator controls actuation of the hydraulic actuator by the hydraulic system. The sprayer is actuated by the hydraulic actuator.

A compression brake control shifter for convenient and safe compression brake control from the shifter includes a shifter body. The shifter body is configured to connect to a shift lever of a truck to manipulate a gear system of the truck. The truck has a gear splitter and a compression brake. A wiring harness is coupled to the shifter body and extends through the bottom side to be in operational communication with a CPU of the truck. A compression button, a hi/low gears switch, and a gear splitter switch are coupled to the shifter body and are in operational communication with the wiring harness to activate and alternatively deactivate the compression brake of the truck, to switch to and from a hi gear mode and a low gear mode of the gear system, and to activate and alternatively deactivate the gear splitter of the truck, respectively.

An operating device for a motor vehicle is provided. The device includes at least one selector lever, which can be moved between at least one parking position, as the first position for activating a parking lock of an automatic transmission, and at least one second position that is different to the parking position. The device includes at least two operating parts which are retained on a base element of the selector lever that can move between the positions, and which can be moved towards one another out of a deactivation position into an activation position, in order to thereby bring about a starting of a drive device of the motor vehicle, as well as a blocking device which is designed to block the operating parts in the activation position, and to bring about a movement of the operating parts out of the activation position into the deactivation position as a result of a movement of the selector lever out of the second position into the parking position.

A multifunctional electronic gear shift lever for simultaneous manipulation includes a cylindrical lever rotatably inserted into a support which is disposed in a center fascia surface or a console surface of a vehicle and having an entrance opening that penetrates the cylindrical lever in a longitudinal direction. A start button is disposed at a lower side of the entrance opening, connected with a controller via a spring, and moving in a vertical direction. A display is disposed on the center fascia surface or the console surface, and displays a gear shift stage of the vehicle and a state of the vehicle. The gear shift stage is changeable by rotating the cylindrical lever while simultaneously starting an engine of the vehicle by operating the start button.

A vehicle control device configured to be capable of executing idle stop control to automatically stop an engine when a predetermined automatic stop condition is satisfied and restart the engine when a predetermined restart condition is satisfied during the automatic stop of the engine, the vehicle control device includes: a start request detector, a shift position detector, and a delay time setting module. A start request detector detects a driver operation indicating a request for starting the engine by a driver. A shift position detector detects a shift position of a shift changer. A delay time setting module sets, on a basis of presence or absence of the driver operation and the shift position, a delay time from when the engine is restarted until when an automatic stop of the engine is permitted.

An active shift control method for a power-off downshift of the hybrid vehicle is provided. The method includes increasing the torque of an engagement clutch in a transmission while disengaging a disengagement clutch by reducing the torque of the disengagement clutch in the transmission, when the shift of a power-off downshift is requested. A motor speed is adjust for a transmission input shaft rotary speed to reach a predetermined target stage synchronization speed of a target stage after shifting, and the torque of the engagement clutch is maintained in a state where the disengagement clutch has been disengaged. The engagement of the engagement clutch is completed by increasing the torque of the engagement clutch when the transmission input shaft rotary speed has reached the target stage synchronization speed.

A control device for a vehicle including (i) a power transmission device, (ii) a shift operation device that is to be operated by a driver of the vehicle to an operation position corresponding to a shift position of the power transmission device, and (iii) a switching device for switching the shift position of the power transmission device through actuation of an actuator. The control device is configured, upon occurrence of a momentary interruption of a control-device electric-power source that is supplied with an electric power from a vehicle electric-power source, to not perform an initial position learning process for setting a reference position of the actuator, until a shift switching operation for switching the shift position of the power transmission device is performed by a driver of the vehicle.

A shift device includes a shift lever configured to move to a plurality of positions, a grip section mounted on the shift lever and configured to be grasped by a user, a contact detecting section mounted on the grip section and configured to detect contact with the user, a restricting section configured to restrict a movement of the shift lever, and a releasing section configured to determine whether the grip section is grasped by the user based on a result of detection by the contact detecting section, and release the shift lever from restriction on the movement upon determining that the grip section is grasped by the user.

The disclosure relates to a gear selection switch for a motor vehicle. The gear selection switch comprises at least one piezoelectric sensor element for detecting an actuation of the gear selection switch.

A recreational vehicle is provided including a power source, such as an engine or an electric motor, and a transmission having a variable gear ratio. A sub-transmission coupled to an output of the transmission includes a plurality of selectable gear configurations including park gear and at least one of a forward gear, a neutral gear and a reverse gear. An electronic controller is operative to electronically control the gear configuration of the sub-transmission in response to a set of conditions.
