A transmission and a vehicle. A first clutch of the transmission is a bidirectional clutch. When the first clutch is disposed on an input shaft, the first clutch is located between a first-stage input gear and a second-stage input gear. When the first clutch is disposed on a countershaft, the first clutch is located between a first-stage output gear and a second-stage output gear. Alternatively, the transmission includes the first clutch and a second clutch that are disposed on the input shaft or the countershaft. A quantity of components in the transmission is reduced, and a structure of the transmission is simplified, to reduce costs of the transmission, and reduce production costs of the vehicle to some extent.

An agricultural machine transmission has a powershiftable main group arranged upstream or downstream of a powershiftable split group in the direction of force transfer. The split group has an input shaft, an output shaft, and powershift elements, which when selectively actuated permit configurations of at least six different forward gears and at least three different reverse gears between the input shaft and the output shaft of the split group. A driveshaft of the main group is connectable by a first powershift clutch to a first input shaft and is connectable by a second powershift clutch to a second input shaft of the main group. Spur gear stages of the main group can be integrated into the force transfer path by actuating an associated shift element, coupling an associated input shaft to the drive shaft of the main group by configuring a respective gear of the main group.

A powershift transmission for an agricultural machine includes a transmission housing, an input shaft unit and an output shaft, wherein the input shaft unit and the output shaft extend at least in sections within the transmission housing. An auxiliary shaft is arranged parallel to but offset between the input shaft unit and the output shaft. The input shaft unit and the auxiliary shaft are connected to one another via a front-mounted range unit, and the auxiliary shaft and the output shaft are connected to one another via a rear-mounted range unit. The front-mounted and rear mounted range units each includes at least two gear wheel pairs, the at least two gear wheel pairs being individually coupled or decoupled. The auxiliary shaft unit includes a first auxiliary shaft and a second auxiliary shaft, where the first and second auxiliary shafts are coupled to one another via a reduction gear unit.

A method for operating a hybrid transmission includes monitoring the surroundings of a motor vehicle and, based on the data ascertained within the scope of the monitoring, determining a probability of occurrence of a driving situation to be anticipated, which, upon occurring, results in a deceleration of the motor vehicle. Based on the determined probability of occurrence, it is decided whether to carry out an electrodynamic gear shift or an output-assisted gear shift in order to transfer the hybrid transmission out of an operating condition, in which a gear is engaged, into a shift condition.

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 power shift transmission includes a plurality of shafts, a plurality of gears, a plurality of clutches, a plurality of forward modes, and a plurality of alternate forward modes. Each forward mode has a distinct transmission ratio, and each alternate forward mode has a transmission ratio similar to one of the plurality of forward modes.

A powertrain may include a plurality of shafts disposed in parallel with a transmission input shaft of a first shifting mechanism which receives power from an engine, and transmitting power from a motor to a driving shaft while a vehicle is driven; and a second shifting mechanism including a plurality of gears fitted on the shafts, in which one of the gears remains engaged and rotated as a driven gear by a constant synchronizer while the vehicle is driven.

An electric powertrain includes a first electric motor that has an uninterrupted connection with a drive shaft of a vehicle. The electric powertrain further includes a second electric motor that has an interruptible connection with the drive shaft. In one form, this interruptible connection includes a clutch. The electric powertrain further includes a first gear train in the form of a first planetary gear and a second gear train in the form of a second planetary gear. The first gear train, second gear train, and clutch are arranged downstream from the first electric motor and second electric motor.

A drive-train for a vehicle with at least one electric drive, which can be coupled via a driveshaft (2) to at least a first transmission ratio stage (i1) and a second transmission ratio stage (i2). At least one shifting mechanism is provided for engaging the transmission ratio stages (i1, i2). To carry out powershifts, the shifting mechanism includes at least one interlocking shifting element (5) and at least one frictional shifting element (6, 6A). Each of the transmission ratio stages (i1, i2) can be engaged by the interlocking shifting element (5) and at least one of the transmission ratio stages (i2) can be engaged both by the interlocking shifting element (5) and by the frictional shifting element (6). Methods for carrying out a powershift, between a frictional shifting element (6, 6A) and an interlocking shifting element (5) in the drive-train, are also disclosed.

An agricultural system including an agricultural baler and a control unit. The baler includes a driveline including at least one heat generating component; a rotatable flywheel; a rotary input shaft connectable by the driveline to the rotatable flywheel; and at least one pump for supplying cooling fluid at a cooling fluid pressure to the at least one heat generating component. The control unit is configured to: receive baler-data indicative of one or more operating conditions of the agricultural baler; receive cooling-pressure-data indicative of a flow of the cooling fluid supplied by the at least one pump; set a threshold-condition based on the baler-data; and provide a control-signal to the agricultural baler based on a comparison between the cooling-pressure-data and the threshold-condition.
