Heavy Truck With Fuel-Saving System, And Fuel-Saving Control Method Therefor
An ACE heavy truck fuel saving system provided by the present disclosure is based on a double-motor mixed hybrid powertrain system architecture, especially an electrical power split device. Under the condition that no new hardware device is added, the transmission path, direction and amplitude of hundred-kilowatt-level mechanical or electric power flow among all vehicle-mounted power subsystems are dynamically regulated and controlled through software definition or remote iteration updating, new functions of vehicle longitudinal driving control and electromechanical energy management are flexibly established or the existing functions are timely improved, the SAE L1-level automatic driving function is achieved, therefore, the power performance, fuel consumption, pollutant emission and active safety of the complete vehicle can be optimized at the same time, and the actual energy-saving and emission-reducing effect of ACE heavy truck operation is basically decoupled from the performance of a vehicle engine and the driving level of a driver. A cloud-end and vehicle-end collaborative fuel saving data set is combined with a machine learning fuel saving algorithm, so that the fuel saving system has the capabilities of automatic learning and autonomous evolution in the life cycle of the vehicle, and energy saving and emission reduction of the vehicle can be continuously optimized.
Apparatus and System for Integrating An Electric Motor Into A Vehicle
The apparatus and system for integrating an electric motor into a vehicle may convert a vehicle from an internal combustion vehicle to a hybrid-electric vehicle. One or more electric motors may be integrated into a powertrain between an internal combustion engine and a transmission. A supervisory controller may monitor and control operation of the internal combustion engine, clutching assembly, transmission, one or more electric motors, or any combination thereof to add mechanical power to the powertrain, remove mechanical power from the powertrain, or neutrally balance the transfer of mechanical power between the powertrain and the one or more electric motors. This conversion may be operable to produce torque from both internal combustion and electrical sources and may be operable to recover energy via regenerative braking. The conversion may be performed with little downtime and with the basic fundamental knowledge of a savvy car enthusiast.

The present document further relates to a vehicle including said dual motor electric driveline, and to a method of controlling said dual motor electric driveline.
Cooperative control method and apparatus for maintaining driving in response to engine clutch failure
A cooperative control method and apparatus for maintaining driving in response to engine clutch failure are provided. The cooperative control method includes monitoring refill temperature conditions of operating oil of an engine clutch and performing cooperative control between a radiator and an engine cooling water circulation pump based on change in temperature of the operating oil of the engine clutch. Additionally, the method includes determining whether the engine clutch is in a refill dangerous stage and turning off an engine to be turned off when the engine clutch is in the refill dangerous stage. Whether the temperature of the operating oil is mitigated is determined based on the refill temperature conditions, when the engine is turned off and oil refilling is performed when the temperature of the operating oil is not mitigated.
VEHICLE DRIVE DEVICE
A vehicle drive device includes: an electric motor; a multi-plate clutch including a plurality of clutch plates; a pressing mechanism configured to press the multi-plate clutch; an output rotary member to which a drive force of the electric motor is transferred through the multi-plate clutch; and a control device configured to control the electric motor and the pressing mechanism. The control device is configured to control the pressing mechanism using information on the result of test operation performed while the vehicle is stationary.
METHOD FOR NEUTRAL COASTING CONTROL BASED ON FUEL INJECTION CONDITION REINFORCEMENT AND NEUTRAL COASTING CONTROL SYSTEM THEREOF
A neutral coasting control (NCC) method based on fuel injection condition reinforcement applied to an NCC system is provided. The NCC method comprises in response to a controller detecting pressing of a brake pedal of a pedal system being switched to an NCC release from an operation, practice, or action of an NCC of a vehicle, fuel injection condition reinforcement control for delaying a fuel injection of a fuel injector. The delay of the fuel injection is according to a fuel injection stop condition for a predetermined time. The fuel injection delay is stopped according to a fuel injection stop abort condition and a fuel injection stop release condition. Fuel injection start control to stop or start the fuel injection according to a state of an engine overrun after transmission direct connection state is established such that improvement of fuel efficiency can be achieved by preventing an unnecessary fuel injection through delaying and limiting of the fuel injection start.
HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
In a hybrid vehicle control system, when a first traveling mode using torque of an electric motor is switched to a second traveling mode using torque of an engine, a controller performs an engine start control by applying an engagement pressure to a first clutch and by cranking the engine by the electric motor, so as to start the engine. Specifically, the controller obtains a predicted start time and an actual start time by the engine start control, and corrects the engagement pressure so as to decrease the engagement pressure applied to the first clutch at a subsequent time of starting the engine, when the actual start time is shorter than the predicted start time.
Apparatus and method for controlling engine clutch
An engine clutch control apparatus of a vehicle including a transmission without a R-shift stage gear may include an engine clutch, a controller which determines whether an engine reverse rotation entry is possible for driving in reverse according to a failure diagnosis information of the engine clutch and executes a reverse rotation driving control according to the determination result, and a drive motor for reversely rotating the transmission according the reverse rotation driving control. The controller in the engine clutch control apparatus includes an engine reverse rotation entry possibility determining module and an engine exhaust gas forced discharge control module.
