A power-split axle drive for an agricultural vehicle, including a first additional drive element, a first vehicle axle, a second vehicle axle, and a primary drive element for providing a torque which via a first shaft is able to be transmitted to a primary transmission. The primary transmission is connected to the second vehicle axle, and at least the second vehicle axle via the primary transmission is drivable by the torque of the primary drive element. The power-split axle drive has a power-splitting transmission connected to the second vehicle axle and the primary transmission and via a second shaft is connected to the first vehicle axle. The first additional drive element is able to be connected to the power-splitting transmission, wherein a first switching element is disposed on the second shaft.

This relay unit includes: a first bus bar; a relay electrically connected to the first bus bar; and an apparatus cover for covering the first bus bar and the relay. The apparatus cover includes: an upper member in a box shape having a covered upper end, the upper member having an opening formed in a lower end; and a lower member bonded to the upper member such that the opening of the upper member is covered with the lower member. The lower member is formed of a resin having heat conductivity that is higher than that of the upper member. The first bus bar is connected to the lower member via a first inner heat conductive sheet such that heat can be transferred to the lower member, said first inner heat conductive sheet being disposed between the first bus bar and the lower member.

A hybrid drive device has an internal combustion engine, a clutch transmission which has at least one free partial transmission and a partial transmission connected to an electric machine with in each case a clutch, and at least one electric machine. In order to start the internal combustion engine, pulse energy is provided from an inertia of the clutch associated with the free partial transmission and/or a rotation in the free partial transmission.

A method for predicting a failure of a power control unit of a vehicle is provided. The method includes obtaining data from a plurality of sensors of the power control unit of a vehicle subject to simulated multi-load conditions, implementing a machine learning algorithm on the data to obtain machine learning data, obtaining new data from the plurality of sensors of power control unit of the vehicle subject to real multi-load conditions, implementing the machine learning algorithm on the new data to obtain test data, predicting a failure of the power control unit based on a comparison between the test data and the machine learning data.

An actuator assembly for actuating two switching units in the driveline of a motor vehicle comprises a housing; an actuator drive; a switching rod arranged in the housing and axially movable by the actuator drive in three positions; a first switching element and a second switching element axially movably arranged on the switching rod; a spring element which biases the first switching element against a first shaft stop and the second switching element against a second shaft stop; a first housing stop against which the first switching element can be axially supported; and a second housing stop against which the second switching element can be axially supported. A transmission assembly can include such an actuator assembly.
