Electrified military vehicle
An energy storage system for a military vehicle includes a lower support, a battery supported on the lower support, a bracket coupled to the battery, and an upper isolator mount coupled between the bracket and a wall. The upper isolator mount is configured to provide front-to-back vibration isolation of the battery relative to the wall.
Method and system for propelling a vehicle
The invention relates to a method for propelling a vehicle comprising a first power source being an internal combustion engine and a second power source comprising at least one electrical machine. The vehicle is configured to be selectively driven according to a first mode and a second mode, wherein said second mode is prioritized more in relation to fuel efficiency of said vehicle than said first mode. When a maximum power for propelling said vehicle is requested, power delivered by said first power source and said second power source is controlled such that the total power delivered by said first and said second power source exceeds the maximum deliverable power of said first power source. The total power delivered by said first and said second power source is allowed to exceed the maximum deliverable power of said first power source when said vehicle is driven according to said second mode.
Method and device for controlling deceleration of environmentally friendly vehicle
A method for controlling deceleration of a vehicle includes determining, by a controller, a reference deceleration driving distance of the vehicle based on current speed information of the vehicle and stop signal residual time information of a traffic light located ahead of the vehicle, determining, by the controller, whether the reference deceleration driving distance is less than or equal to a distance between the vehicle and the traffic light, and determining, by the controller, a speed profile including an actual deceleration driving distance of the vehicle based on a waiting distance of a waiting vehicle that waits before the traffic light when it is determined that the reference deceleration driving distance is less than or equal to the distance between the vehicle and the traffic light.
REGENERATIVE BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD USING PADDLE SHIFT OF HYBRID VEHICLE
A regenerative braking control system and a regenerative braking control method using a paddle shift of a hybrid vehicle, include a paddle switch including a first paddle shift for a down shift and a second paddle shift for an up shift, a first controller electrically connected to the paddle switch and configured to determine a deceleration control amount of regenerative braking for stopping the vehicle as a hold operation of the first paddle shift is input, and a second controller electrically connected to the first controller and configured to control a motor torque for the regenerative braking according to the deceleration control amount determined from the first controller and to control hydraulic braking of the vehicle to be executed when reaching a stop state of the vehicle.

Transmission system for use in a vehicle
A transmission system includes a transmission housing and a countershaft having no less than two gears, with the gears defining a plurality of gear ratios. The transmission system also includes a module housing, a first output shaft rotatably coupled to the countershaft, and a second output shaft rotatably coupled to the countershaft. The transmission system further includes a first clutch configured to selectively rotatably couple the first output shaft to the countershaft. The transmission system also includes a second clutch configured to selectively rotatably couple the second output shaft to the countershaft. The transmission system further includes an electric machine configured to deliver rotational power to at least one of the first and second output shafts to deliver rotational power to the countershaft. The countershaft is rotatably coupled to either of the first and second output shafts for all of the gear ratios.

Drive control system for hybrid vehicle
A drive control system for a hybrid vehicle configured to prevent backward coasting on an uphill grade even when an engine torque cannot be delivered to drive wheels. When the hybrid vehicle is propelled by delivering engine torque to rear wheels on an uphill grade, the drive control system determines an occurrence of a failure in which the torque cannot be delivered from the engine to the rear wheels. If the occurrence of the failure is determined, the drive control system executes a hill hold control to deliver torque to establish a required drive force from a motor to front wheels while disengaging an engagement device.
Apparatus, system and method for controlling vehicle
An apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes: a sensor that obtains vehicle surrounding environment information and vehicle driving information; and a controller that determines whether an engagement of an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is possible based on the vehicle driving information, performs control for preventing a slip based on the vehicle surrounding environment information upon determining that the engagement of the EPB is impossible, calculates a steering angle for preventing the slip, transmits the steering angle to a portable terminal, receives a steering control command from the portable terminal, and controls steering based on the received steering control command.
