The present disclosure discloses an all-terrain vehicle. The all-terrain vehicle includes: a signal acquirer; an engine; an engine controller; a first differential; a first wheel; a driving motor; a motor controller; a battery power source electrically connected with the driving motor; a second differential in transmission connection with the driving motor; and second wheels in transmission connection with the second differential and are located at both lateral sides of the second differential. Therefore, by connecting and matching the first differential, the engine, the driving motor and the second differential with the corresponding components, the hybrid all-terrain vehicle allows intelligent four-wheel drive, reduces energy consumption, and has a compact and reasonable structure.

ELECTRIC WORK VEHICLE

An electric work vehicle includes a travel battery, an auxiliary battery, a motor drivable on electric power supplied by the travel battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, a voltage converter positioned forward of the travel battery to step down a voltage of electric power from the travel battery and supply the electric power to the auxiliary battery, and a radiator positioned forward of the travel battery, wherein the voltage converter and the radiator are laterally next to each other in a plan view.

ELECTRIC WORK VEHICLE

An electric work vehicle includes a work device, a battery, a motor drivable on electric power supplied by the battery, a travel device drivable by the motor, and a hydraulic pump positioned next to the motor and drivable by the motor to supply operating fluid to an operating mechanism of the work device.

Supercapacitor mounting assemblies and vehicle mounting locations

This disclosure is directed to supercapacitor systems for supporting relatively high power transient electrical loads within vehicles. An exemplary supercapacitor system includes a mounting assembly and a supercapacitor housed within the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly may be employed to mount the supercapacitor system within a vehicle, such as within a cowl assembly or cargo space of the vehicle. The mounting assembly may include multiple panels. At least one of the multiple panels may be made of a thermally conductive polymer, and at least one other panel of the multiple panels may be made of a polymer that is reinforced by a structural foam.

Saddle-riding vehicle

A saddle-riding vehicle includes a radiator in front of an engine of the saddle-riding vehicle and on one lateral side of the vehicle in a vehicle widthwise direction with respect to a center line in the vehicle widthwise direction. The radiator includes: a radiator body that allows coolant of the engine to flow through the radiator body; a radiator fan at a rear face of the radiator body; and a fan cover that covers the radiator fan from a rear of the radiator fan to guide exhaust air from the radiator to the one lateral side in the vehicle widthwise direction.

VEHICLE ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS

A through the road (TTR) hybridization strategy is proposed to facilitate introduction of hybrid electric vehicle technology in a significant portion of current and expected trucking fleets. In some cases, the technologies can be retrofitted onto an existing vehicle (e.g., a truck, a tractor unit, a trailer, a tractor-trailer configuration, at a tandem, etc.). In some cases, the technologies can be built into new vehicles. In some cases, one vehicle may be built or retrofitted to operate in tandem with another and provide the hybridization benefits contemplated herein. By supplementing motive forces delivered through a primary drivetrain and fuel-fed engine with supplemental torque delivered at one or more electrically-powered drive axles, improvements in overall fuel efficiency and performance may be delivered, typically without significant redesign of existing components and systems that have been proven in the trucking industry.
