A damper pulley for a hybrid vehicle with a mild hybrid starter and generator (MHSG) includes: a crank adapter coupled to a crankshaft that is rotated by a driving torque of an engine of the hybrid vehicle; a clutch having a surface mounted on the crank adapter; a pulley body having an interior circumference to which a pulley adapter is coupled; and a bearing interposed between an exterior circumference of the crank adapter and the interior circumference of the pulley body and disposed so as to enable the pulley body to be freely rotatable. The clutch connects the crankshaft to the pulley body through the pulley adapter during an operation condition of the engine, and the clutch releases the connection of the crankshaft to the pulley body through the pulley adapter during the stopping condition of the engine.

A vehicle attitude control device includes a controller including a low-pass filter. The controller calculates a manipulated variable of the actuator that allows the roll of the vehicle to be suppressed. The controller processes the roll angle acceleration with the low-pass filter, integrates the roll angle acceleration in which a high-frequency component has been removed by the low-pass filter, and converts a roll angle velocity obtained by the integration, into the manipulated variable. The low-pass filter has a first vehicle speed-cutoff frequency characteristic in which a cutoff frequency becomes higher with increase in the vehicle speed, and the first vehicle speed-cutoff frequency characteristic is designed such that a peak frequency in roll vibration coincides with a local minimum roll frequency in wheelbase filtering, the roll vibration being amplified by a dead time and a phase delay in control by the controller.

A system includes a vibration damper coupled for rotation with a rotating body. The vibration damper includes one or more fluid pockets. A reactive fluid is arranged in the one or more fluid pockets. The reactive fluid is configured to undergo a property change upon being exposed to a selected force. A force producing mechanism is fixedly mounted relative to the vibration damper, the force producing mechanism being operable to selectively produce the selected force.

Disclosed is a dog-bone type rear roll rod in which a body bracket, which is fixed to a vehicle body, and front and rear rubbers, which are disposed at front and rear sides of the body bracket, respectively, are connected together through an inner pipe and fastened to a rod by means of a fastening member, the dog-bone type rear roll rod including: an extrusion plate which has a through hole formed such that the inner pipe penetrates a center of the extrusion plate, has a width length greater than a width length of the rod, and is press-fitted between the rod and the front rubber.

A vehicle includes a chassis, and a drivetrain supported by the chassis. The drivetrain includes a prime mover and a transmission mechanically linked to the prime mover. At least one dynamically adjustable engine mount connects the drivetrain to the chassis. The at least one dynamically adjustable engine mount includes a selectively adjustable parameter. One or more sensors is associated with the vehicle. The one or more sensors is operable to detect one or more vehicle parameters. A control system is operatively connected to the at least one dynamically adjustable engine mount and the one or more sensors. The control system is operable to alter the selectively adjustable parameter of the at least one dynamically adjustable mount to substantially isolate the chassis from lateral shudder of the drivetrain in response to the one or more vehicle parameters.

Systems and methods for reducing driveline mode change busyness for a hybrid vehicle are presented. The systems and methods may delay a driveline mode change in response to a time since a change from a first desired vehicle speed to a second vehicle speed, or alternatively, driveline mode changes may be initiated in response to an estimated time to change from the first desired vehicle speed to the second desired vehicle speed.

A webbing take-up device includes a spool that is rotated in a take-up direction to take up webbing worn by an occupant and that is rotated in a pull-out direction by the webbing being pulled out, and a frame that rotatably supports the spool. The frame includes a fixed stay portion that is fixed to a vehicle body, and a rotation stop stay portion that is disposed spaced apart from the vehicle body and that by being engaged with the vehicle body is restricted from rotational displacement relative to the fixed stay portion.

An engine assembly arrangement for a motor vehicle, with a drive assembly, which is mounted directly at a support element via at least one first fixed bearing. A support structure engages at the drive assembly, on the one hand, via a second fixed bearing and via a third fixed bearing that is spaced apart from the second fixed bearing, and, on the other hand, is articulated at the support element via a fourth fixed bearing.

A crawler vehicle drive system, in particular for a crawler vehicle configured to groom ski slopes, having: a drive wheel rotating about a first rotation axis; an idle wheel rotating about a second rotation axis parallel to the first rotation axis); and a track looped around the drive wheel and the idle wheel, and comprising a plurality of belts made of an elastomeric material and a plurality of metal grousers fixed to the belt; wherein at least one belt has at least one continuous toothed strip extending along the inner face of the belt and configured to mesh with the drive wheel.

A vehicle damper device may include: a first plate coupled to a crankshaft of the engine; a second plate coupled via an elastic body to the first plate; an inertia body coupled to the second plate; a support member coupled to the crankshaft along with the first plate; a bearing inserted between the support member and the inertia body; a third plate coupled to the inertia body; a fourth plate coupled to an input shaft of the power transmission device; and a torque limiter mechanism disposed between the third plate and the fourth plate, the torque limiter mechanism being disposed at a position on a radially inner side than the elastic body and not axially overlapping with the elastic body, the elastic body being a coil spring disposed in an outer circumferential portion of the first or second plate, and the elastic body being an arc-shaped arc spring.
