A road vehicle with an electric drive having: a heat engine provided with a carrier shaft; a gearbox; at least one pump actuated by a carrier shaft; at least a reversible electric machine; a first mechanical transmission, which transmits the motion from the drive shaft of the heat engine to the carrier shaft and is provided with a first freewheel; a second mechanical transmission, which transmits the motion from the shaft of the electric machine to the carrier shaft and is provided with a second freewheel; and a third mechanical transmission, which is arranged in parallel to the second mechanical transmission, transmits the motion from the shaft of the electric machine to the carrier shaft, is provided with a third freewheel and reverses the direction of motion with respect to the second mechanical transmission.

An electric drive axle assembly and a vehicle having the same are provided. The electric drive axle assembly includes: an electric powertrain, an axle housing assembly, and a central parking module. The electric powertrain includes a power motor, a transmission and a differential with an input end and two output ends; and the power motor is connected to the input end of the differential through the transmission. The axle housing assembly includes an axle housing component and two half axles; the two half axles and the differential are disposed in the axle housing component; the two half axles are connected to the two output ends of the differential respectively; and the electric powertrain is installed on the axle housing component. The central parking module is installed on the axle housing component and used for braking the input end of the differential.

A vehicle includes an engine, a transmission mechanism, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit performs first switching control when there is a request for switching from a low mode to a high mode. The first switching control is to release a first engagement mechanism, and switch a second engagement mechanism to an engaged state when a difference between input and output rotational speeds of the second engagement mechanism becomes equal to or smaller than a permissible value.

Methods and systems are provided for controlling clutch capacity in a hybrid electric vehicle. In one example, a method includes adjusting values of a transfer function of a clutch of a dual clutch transmission in response to an operating condition of an engine and/or operating condition of an integrated starter/generator coupled to the engine while a vehicle is propelled via an electric machine coupled to the dual clutch transmission, and maintaining a driver demand wheel torque at vehicle wheels via adjusting torque of the electric machine in response to the operating condition of the engine and/or operating condition of the integrated starter generator. In this way the method may apply pressure to one of the clutches where engine speed is independently controlled to maintain positive or negative slip, thus enabling adaptation of positive and negative clutch transfer functions, which may improve driveline operation and shift quality.

A transmission for electric vehicle may include first input shaft connected to motor, first planetary gear set including first rotation element selectively connectable to the first input shaft and third rotation element which is fixed, second planetary gear set including first rotation element directly connected to the first input shaft and third rotation element directly connected to second rotation element of the first planetary gear set, first clutch selectively connecting the first input shaft and second rotation element of the second planetary gear set, output shaft, driving gear rotating with the second rotation element of the second planetary gear set, driven gear engaged with the driving gear, second clutch selectively connecting the first rotation element of the first planetary gear set to the first input shaft, and third clutch disposed to fix or engage the third rotation element of the second planetary gear set with the driving gear.

A parking brake of a work vehicle has a piston near the wheel relative to an end plate in an axial direction parallel to a rotation axis of the drive shaft to move in the axial direction, a hub between the end plate and the piston in the axial direction to be connected to the drive shaft, a cylinder disposed outwardly from the hub in a radial direction relative to the rotation axis, a disk supported by the hub in an inner space defined by the end plate, the piston, the hub, and the cylinder, a separator supported by the cylinder, next to the disk in the inner space, and moved by the piston in the axial direction, a first passage connecting the inner space and an outer space, and a second passage provided outwardly from the first passage in the radial direction to connect the inner and outer spaces.

Methods and systems are provided for adjusting clutch pressures and electric machine torques as a function of a stability metric threshold(s) in order to balance performance and charging of an onboard energy storage device. In one example, a method includes during an upshift of a transmission from a first gear to a second gear, adjusting a clutch pressure of the transmission to adjust slippage of a clutch in response to a vehicle stability control parameter exceeding a threshold. In this way, torque delivered to a transmission output shaft may be reduced, which may increase vehicle stability.

A transmission for electric vehicle may include first input shaft connected to motor, first planetary gear set including first rotation element selectively connectable to the first input shaft and third rotation element which is fixed, second planetary gear set including first rotation element directly connected to the first input shaft and third rotation element directly connected to second rotation element of the first planetary gear set, first clutch selectively connecting the first input shaft and second rotation element of the second planetary gear set, output shaft, driving gear rotating with the second rotation element of the second planetary gear set, driven gear engaged with the driving gear, second clutch selectively connecting the first rotation element of the first planetary gear set to the first input shaft, and third clutch disposed to fix or engage the third rotation element of the second planetary gear set with the driving gear.

A powertrain includes an engine and an electric machine. The powertrain further includes a planetary gearset including a a first rotatable element fixedly coupled to an engine crankshaft, a second rotatable element fixedly coupled to the electric machine, and a third rotatable element driveably connected to an intermediate shaft. The powertrain further includes a lockup clutch configured to selectively couple two of the first rotatable element, the second rotatable element, and the third rotatable element.
