A dual-motor power system or a dual-motor hybrid power system for a vehicle comprises a first motor, a second motor, an intermediate shaft, a first gear set disposed between a first driving shaft, and an intermediate shaft. The first driving shaft couples with the intermediate shaft via the first gear set, a second gear set disposed between the second driving shaft and the intermediate shaft, and a single synchronizer disposed around the second driving shaft. The synchronizer can be switched between a neutral position, a first-speed-ratio position, and a second-speed-ratio position. In the neutral position, the second driving shaft is decoupled from the first and second gear sets. In the first-speed-ratio position, the synchronizer couples the second driving shaft with the intermediate shaft via the first gear set. In the second-speed-ratio position, the synchronizer couples the second driving shaft with the intermediate shaft via the second gear set.

A power module assembly includes opposing end caps collectively having coolant ports and a row of cards that each have a major side defining a projection extending across the card. A side panel extends between the end caps such that the panel and row define a channel in fluid communication with the ports and configured to convey coolant directly across the cards. The side panel defines a groove that receives the projections.

A drive unit of a hybrid vehicle includes an engine; an electric motor; first and second differential mechanisms; a selectable one-way clutch; and a case accommodating the electric motor. Further, the first differential mechanism includes a first rotational element coupled to the electric motor, a second rotational element coupled to the engine, and a third rotational element that outputs power toward drive wheels, the second differential mechanism includes a sun gear coupled to the electric motor, a carrier coupled to the engine, a ring gear whose rotation is regulated by the selectable one-way clutch, and a ring gear flange that rotates integrally with the ring gear, and the selectable one-way clutch switches a state thereof between a locked state and an unlocked state, and the ring gear flange is supported by a rotor shaft of the electric motor via a radial bearing.

Transition is made from a motor single-drive mode to a motor dual-drive mode while there is a margin in torque output from a motor MG2 with respect to rated torque. With this, the torque of the motor MG1 is changed slowly in the motor dual-drive mode, whereby it is possible to suppress the generation of vibration (shock) due to torsion of a damper and to compensate for a shortage of the torque of the motor MG1 due to slow change processing with an increase in torque from the motor MG2. As a result, it is possible to achieve both of reduction of a shock due to the torque of the motor MG1 and output of required torque to a drive shaft.

A vehicle including a housing supported on a framework member of the vehicle via a supporting member, a liquid medium supply unit fixed to the housing and driven by a motor to supply a liquid medium to a cooled or lubricated portion, and a first atmosphere communicating mechanism that establishes a communication between an inside of a motor portion of the liquid medium supply unit and atmosphere, the first atmosphere communicating mechanism including a volumetric member that is disposed apart from the liquid medium supply unit in a position higher than the liquid medium supply unit, that has a predetermined volumetric space, and that is fixed to the housing.

A motor vehicle includes a transmission and a transmission fluid pump for transport of transmission oil to and within the transmission. The transmission fluid pump has a moving element which is coupled to a summation shaft of a planetary gear train. The planetary gear train has a ring gear which is operated by a first drive, and a sun gear which is operated by a second drive. A freewheel mechanism is arranged between the sun gear or a shaft connected to the sun gear and a further element so that the second drive can be switched off, when the first drive operates at high speeds while yet maintaining proper operation of the transmission fluid pump.

A hybrid driveline assembly for a vehicle includes an engine, an electric motor, and a transmission having an input and an output. The transmission input is selectively coupled to the engine and electric motor. The transmission is shiftable between a plurality of drive modes. The driveline assembly further includes a final drive assembly operably coupled to the transmission output. The final drive assembly has a front final drive operably coupled to a rear final drive.

A manual gearbox section for a vehicle includes a section input, a section output, a freewheel device situated in a freewheel torque path between the section input and the section output, and a clutch device situated in a clutch torque path between the section input and the section output. The clutch torque path forms a bypass path with respect to the freewheel device and/or the freewheel torque path. The freewheel device is in the form of a rotational-speed-dependent freewheel device. The freewheel device is in a freewheeling state at a first rotational speed and in a coupled state at a second rotational speed. The second rotational speed is higher than the first rotational speed.

A control apparatus for a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes an engine, a first electric motor, a rotary member, and a rotation lock mechanism. The rotary member is provided between the engine and the first electric motor. The rotation lock mechanism is configured to prevent a coupling portion of the rotary member on the engine side from rotating in at least one direction. The control apparatus includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to learn characteristic associated with an input torque of the rotary member by applying a torque to the rotary member by the first electric motor and measuring a twist angle of the rotary member, with the rotation lock mechanism preventing the coupling portion from rotating.
