The hybrid module shipping assembly also includes a cap assembly inserted in the impeller hub and a shipping dome fixed to the housing such that the housing and shipping dome encase the hybrid drive unit, the torque converter and the cap assembly.

An electric automotive vehicle gross vehicle rating of greater than 10,000 pounds includes an electric powertrain connected to the frame and positioned at a base of the frame. The vehicle includes a first central axis, and the weight of the electric powertrain is centered about the first central axis. All drivetrain components of the vehicle other than the electric powertrain may be positioned above the base of the electric powertrain. The vehicle includes two electric drive units configured to drive the front and rear axles respectively. The electric drive units consist of an electric motor, motor controller, two speed electrically actuated gearbox, electrically actuated park lock, and electrically actuated locking differential. The drive units transmit power to inboard mounted brakes, which in turn are connected by constant velocity driveshaft to the wheel hubs where a further final gear reduction resides. Additionally, the suspension of the vehicle utilizes a dynamically adjustable hydraulic suspension that is capable of automatically leveling the vehicle and also provides capability to adjust nominal vehicle ride height. The vehicle is capable of multiple modes of operation, and in one mode the vehicle is able to export electrical power for usage outside of the vehicle. The vehicle body has been designed in multiple embodiments, including a sport utility model and pickup truck model. Additionally, each embodiment is designed with available two door and four door variants. All vehicle variants utilize the aforementioned common powertrain and chassis.

A pulsation damper for damping pressure medium vibrations in a hydraulic system, has a membrane within a bore of a housing, which membrane is exposed to the pressure medium on its one side and faces a gas-filled cavity inside the housing on its other side, the bore of which is closed by means of a plug. The membrane, in conjunction with the plug and a hollow-cylindrical support body, forms an independently handleable, functionally pre-testable assembly, for which purpose the membrane is substantially cup-shaped, and the support body extends into it.

A vehicle front portion structure includes: a pair of front side members extending in a vehicle front-rear direction, the front side members being disposed at an interval in a vehicle width direction; an MC cross-member suspended between the front side members, the MC cross-member being provided with a front cross portion extending in the vehicle width direction and a rear cross portion provided behind the front cross portion and extending in the vehicle width direction; and motor mounts configured to connect a high-voltage component to the MC cross-member, the motor mounts being suspended between the front cross portion and the rear cross portion.

An electric motor includes a rotor rotatable about a center axis; and a rotor carrier including an outer circumferential surface having a varying diameter defined by radially inner surface sections and radially outer surface sections. The radially outer surface sections are bonded to an inner circumferential surface of the rotor by an adhesive.
