ELECTRIFIED MILITARY VEHICLE

A military vehicle includes an engine, an energy storage system, an accessory drive coupled to the engine and including an air compressor and a first motor, a second motor coupled to an axle, and a clutch positioned between the engine and the second motor. The clutch is spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto based on operation of the air compressor. In an engine mode, (i) the clutch does not receive the air supply such that the engine is coupled to the second motor and (ii) the engine drives (a) the accessory drive and (b) the axle through the second motor. In the electric mode, (i) the first motor drives the air compressor to compress air to facilitate supplying the air supply to the clutch to disengage the clutch and decouple the engine from the second motor and (ii) the second motor drives the axle.

The accessory drive includes an accessory motor, an accessory clutch including a first portion and a second portion, an accessory coupled to the first portion, a first belt coupling the first portion to the accessory motor, and a second belt coupling the second portion to the engine.

Electrified vehicle on-board generator power limit arbitration

An electrified vehicle may include an engine, an electric machine selectively coupled to the engine, a high-voltage traction battery electrically coupled to the electric machine and configured to selectively propel the electrified vehicle, an on-board generator including an inverter electrically coupled to the high-voltage traction battery and configured to convert direct current input to alternating current output, power outlets configured to receive power from the inverter of the on-board generator, a user interface, and a controller programmed to control the engine, the electric machine, and the high-voltage traction battery to provide power to on-board generator and to control the inverter to limit the power output by the inverter to the power outlets to one of a user-specified power limit based on input from the user interface, a powertrain power limit associated with the engine, the electric machine, and the high-voltage traction battery, and an inverter hardware power limit.

Vehicle and method of warning a vehicle operator of an impending shutdown of an electrical outlet on the vehicle

A vehicle powertrain includes a battery, an electric machine, an electrical circuit, an electrical outlet, and a controller. The electric machine is configured to receive electrical power from the battery to propel the vehicle and to deliver electrical power to the battery to recharge the battery. The electrical circuit is configured to transfer electrical power between the battery and the electric machine. The electrical outlet is configured to deliver power from the electrical circuit to an external device that is connected to the outlet. The controller is programmed to, in response to a first set of conditions that is indicative of the vehicle powertrain overheating or a second set of conditions that is indicative of an inability to charge the battery to a requested charge value, issue a warning of an impending shutdown of the electrical outlet.

Electrified military vehicle

A military vehicle including a chassis, an engine, a motor/generator, and an energy storage system. The chassis including a passenger capsule including a rear wall, and a rear module coupled to the passenger capsule. The rear module including a rear subframe assembly, a left rear wheel well, a right rear wheel well, and a bed. The engine coupled to the chassis for providing mechanical power to the military vehicle and the motor/generator coupled to the engine. The energy storage system including a lower support coupled to the bed, a lower isolator mount coupled to the lower support, a battery electrically coupled to the motor/generator and coupled to the isolation mounts such that the weight of the battery is supported via the lower isolator mount and the lower support, a bracket coupled to the battery, and an upper isolator mount coupling the bracket to the rear wall of the passenger capsule.

Electrified military vehicle

A military vehicle includes a chassis, a front axle, a rear axle, an energy storage system, a first driver, a transmission, and a second driver. The chassis includes a passenger capsule, a front module coupled to the passenger capsule, and a rear module coupled to the passenger capsule. The passenger capsule defines a tunnel extending longitudinally along a bottom thereof. The front axle is coupled to the front module. The rear axle is coupled to the rear module. The first driver is supported by the front module. The transmission is positioned within the tunnel and coupled to the front axle and/or the rear axle. The second driver is at least partially positioned within the tunnel and positioned between the first driver and the transmission. The second driver includes a motor/generator coupled to the transmission and a clutch positioned to selectively couple the first driver to the motor/generator.

Electrified military vehicle

A driveline for a military vehicle includes a driver. The driver includes a housing, a motor/generator, and a clutch. The housing includes an engine mount configured to couple to an engine and a backing plate configured to couple to a transmission. The motor/generator is disposed within the housing and configured to couple to an input of the transmission. The clutch is disposed within the housing and coupled to the motor/generator. The clutch is configured to selectively couple an output of the engine to the motor/generator. The clutch is spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto.

Mobile transport system and method for delivering hems and services

An apparatus and method for a mobile transport for delivering temperature-controlled contents includes a plurality of compartments each having an interior space and a front panel defining a wall. Each front panel opens in response to a predetermined condition. A temperature controller individually controls a temperature setting within at least one compartment, and a germicidal controller provides a germicide to the interior space of each compartment. In operation, the mobile transport receives an order signal including pickup location, customer identification, and delivery location. After the item has been placed in a compartment, the temperature controller sets the temperature setting for that compartment according to the item. The front panel of the compartment opens in response to receiving an open request signal satisfying the predetermined condition at the delivery location, the open request signal including information relating to the customer identification information.
