One pedal rocking to free an electric vehicle from a stuck condition
A one-pedal rocking mode for extricating an electric vehicle from a stuck condition is implemented by: receiving, via a human-machine interface (HMI) of the electric vehicle, an indication of a user selection to activate the one-pedal rocking mode; operating the electric vehicle in the one-pedal rocking mode responsive to detecting movement of an accelerator pedal of the electric vehicle; controlling at least one electric motor of the electric vehicle to: (i) apply a forward torque to corresponding drive wheels when the accelerator pedal is in a first pedal position that exceeds a forward threshold, (ii) apply a reverse torque to the corresponding drive wheels when the accelerator pedal is in a second pedal position that is less than or equal to the forward threshold; and exiting the one-pedal rocking mode by switching operations of the electric vehicle to a second operating mode responsive to detecting an exit condition.
Work vehicle, and control device and control method for work vehicle
A work vehicle includes a fuel cell module including a fuel cell stack, at least one fuel tank to store fuel to be supplied to the fuel cell stack, a motor connected to the fuel cell module, a power take-off shaft drivable by the motor and to which an implement is connectable, and a controller configured or programmed to be operable in various control modes including a normal mode and an output limitation mode in which an upper limit value of electric power supplied from the fuel cell module to the motor is smaller than in the normal mode. In the output limitation mode, the controller is configured or programmed to alter the upper limit value of the electric power supplied to the motor according to at least one of a type of the implement connected to the power take-off shaft and a type of work performed by the implement.
APPROACHES FOR ENERGY TRANSFER FROM A VEHICLE
A method is disclosed for a vehicle which comprises a primary power unit (PPU) and an energy storing system (ESS). The vehicle is configurable in different operation modes including a default mode, a preparation mode, and an energy transfer mode, and the vehicle is adapted to transfer energy from the PPU and/or from the ESS to a piece of equipment external to the vehicle when configured in the energy transfer mode. The method comprises obtaining an indication of an upcoming activation of the energy transfer mode, activating the preparation mode in response to the obtained indication, causing the PPU to provide power for charging the ESS during the preparation mode, and performing the indicated activation of the energy transfer mode following the preparation mode. Another method, computer systems, vehicle, computer program product, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are also disclosed.
