A military vehicle includes a chassis, an axle, a suspension system, and a driveline. The chassis includes a passenger capsule, a front module coupled to a front end of the passenger capsule, and a rear module coupled to a rear end of the passenger capsule. The axle is supported by the rear module. The suspension system is positioned between the rear module and the axle. The suspension system includes a first gas spring, a second gas spring, a first damper, and a second damper. The first damper and the second damper are cross-plumbed to provide a fluid body roll control function. The driveline is configured to drive the axle. The driveline includes a component having a housing that functions as a structural component of the rear module. The first gas spring, the second gas spring, the first damper, and the second damper are directly coupled to the housing.

The disclosure relates to a method for operating a hydraulic braking system in a motor vehicle having a regenerative braking function. The method comprises steps that, with respect to at least two wheel brakes, a hydraulic free travel release is carried out such that, with respect to one of the at least two wheel brakes, a hydraulic passage to an accumulator is released in order to store therein at least a volume fraction of the hydraulic fluid in the event of a displacement of a hydraulic fluid. The other of the at least two wheel brakes is hydraulically isolated. The disclosure also relates to a hydraulic braking system for a motor vehicle having a regenerative braking function and a method for controlling said braking system.

A brake caliper has a fixed seat. The fixed seat has a first brake lining and a second brake lining. The fixed seat further has a first piston and a second piston that can be pushed by hydraulic oil. A movable seat is slidably disposed on the fixed seat. The movable seat has a link portion that can link the first brake lining and a drive unit that can push the second piston mechanically. The first piston and the second piston can be pushed hydraulically to drive the first brake lining and the second brake lining for braking. The drive unit pushes the second piston to drive the second brake lining, and pushes the movable seat to drive the first brake lining for braking.

Provided is a brake device capable of stabilizing a deceleration at the time of starting braking. The brake device is configured to correct a distribution of a braking force to each wheel or a braking force for each wheel, based on a detection value obtained by a load position distribution detection unit configured to detect a position distribution of a load applied to the vehicle when the vehicle is stopped or is in an initial period of starting.

A brake system may include an actuating device, in particular a brake pedal; a first piston-cylinder unit having two pistons subjecting the brake circuits to a pressure medium via a valve device, wherein one of the pistons can be actuated by the actuation device; a second piston-cylinder unit having an electric motor drive, a transmission at least one piston to supply at least one of the brake circuits with a pressure medium via a valve device; and a motor pump unit with a valve device to supply the brake circuits with a pressure medium. The brake system may also include a hydraulic travel simulator with a pressure or working chamber which is connected to the first piston-cylinder unit.

A power management system includes a sensor interface that receives sensor data samples during operation of a vehicle. A storage device stores the sensor data samples for multiple points in time along a route segment traveled by the vehicle. One or more processors analyze the sensor data samples to detect a historical pattern of the vehicle. The one or more processors determine time efficient operational parameters for the vehicle in response to a destination and an estimated travel time to the destination. The estimated travel time may be based on predicted conditions of the vehicle indicated by the historical pattern. The time efficient operational parameters may be selected to decrease the estimated travel time. At least one of the sensor data samples may include telemetry data.

A brake assembly comprises: a brake piston configured to be movable for a brake apply or release and having an inner wall forming a piston cavity, wherein a groove is formed on the inner wall of the brake piston; a linearly movable structure positioned within the piston cavity of the brake piston and configured to be linearly movable within the piston cavity; and a resilient material, wherein a part of the resilient material is located within the groove formed on the inner wall of the brake piston and the other part of the resilient material is disposed on an outer surface of the linearly movable structure so that the resilient material is engageable with a surface of the groove formed on the inner wall of the brake piston to move the brake piston by restoring force of the resilient material in response to linear movement of the linearly movable structure.
