Hybrid vehicle drive system
A drive system of a hybrid vehicle including an internal combustion engine, a first motor-generator, a power transmission path, a power division mechanism, a second motor-generator, a one-way clutch, a mode change mechanism, and an electronic control unit having a microprocessor and memory. The microprocessor is configured to control the first motor-generator so as to reduce a reaction force acting on the first motor-generator at a time at which a state of the one-way clutch changes from an unlocked state to a locked state, when a drive mode is changed from an EV mode to a HV mode through a start mode by the mode change mechanism.

TRACKED VEHICLE WITH STEERING COMPENSATION
A tracked vehicle includes a pilot control module which enables the pilot to steer the tracked vehicle using an existing joystick of the tracked vehicle. The tracked vehicle also includes a dual track drive pedal which drives the tracks of the vehicle simultaneously. The joystick is used to make steering corrections when utilizing the dual track drive pedal.
PEDAL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
A pedal apparatus for a vehicle may include a pedal housing fixedly disposed in a space in which a driver's foot is located; and an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal pivotably connected to the pedal housing, wherein, when the accelerator pedal is operated, the accelerator pedal pivots independently of the brake pedal, and when the brake pedal is operated, both the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal pivot.

Multi-function damper
A motor-generator system for hybrid electric internal combustion engine applications includes a selectively-engageable motor-generator located co-axially with a front end of the engine crankshaft. The motor-generator system includes at least a first rotor rotationally coupled with the crankshaft and an axially-displaceable stator which is held against rotation relative to the engine. Preferably, a motor-generator controller controls an actuator to axially displace the stator between engaged and disengages states. When in the engaged state, the stator electromagnetically interacts with the rotor to generate electric energy from crankshaft-supplied torque or to produce torque to deliver to the crankshaft and/or an engine accessory drive. The motor-generator system may have multiple axially-displaceable stators and rotors to increase the output of the motor-generator system.

ROTARY-TYPE AUTOMOTIVE TRANSMISSION
A rotary-type automotive transmission is provided. The rotary-type automotive transmission includes a housing; a shaft coupled to the housing in an axial direction; a bullet part provided on a surface of the shaft to be elastically projected in a first direction, which is perpendicular to the axial direction, and/or in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction; and a groove part mounted in a receiving groove that is formed on a surface of the housing, to face the bullet part. The groove part slidably moves in the first direction and/or in the second direction to be received in the housing.

INTERIOR FINISHING MEMBER FOR DRIVER'S CAB IN WORK VEHICLE, COVER FOR OPERATION LEVER IN WORK VEHICLE, AND WORK VEHICLE
An interior finishing member for a driver's cab in a work vehicle includes a bellows. The bellows is configured to be provided at an inner wall to separate an outside and an inside of the driver's cab. The bellows has a hole via which the outside communicates with the inside and through which an operation lever is configured to pass.
