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.

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.

The invention relates to a vehicle configurator (100) comprising a chassis (1), a transport structure (2) and one or more transfer means (41). The one or more transfer means are essentially arranged in a displacement plane. The vehicle configurator (100) is designed such that the transport structure (2) is displaceable with the one or more transfer means (41) in the displacement plane for loading or unloading the transport structure (2) from the chassis (1).

An autonomous mobile robot (AMR) with a single modular platform to mount plurality of material handling units is provided. The AMR includes a monolithic chassis; a top plate includes plurality of standoffs to mount at least one material handling units; the plurality of standoffs are integrated on top of the top plate; drive wheels are coupled to a wheel mount as a single unit to form a drive wheel assembly; a suspension unit is coupled symmetrically in between two main bodies which corresponds to the monolithic chassis and the drive wheel assembly with spring enclosures, suspension shafts, and coil springs; a set of side plates connect the monolithic chassis on the AMR. The top plate is sandwiched between the plurality of standoffs and the monolithic chassis. A load is transferred from the plurality of material handling units through the plurality of standoffs and the top plate to the monolithic chassis.

A vehicle platform for a vehicle is provided. The platform includes a platform base extending in a longitudinal direction, and a loading system for laterally loading and unloading an upper body structure onto the platform base. The loading system includes first and second fork arms supporting the upper body structure with respect to a vertical direction, and a lifting mechanism coupled to the platform base and the first and second fork arms. The lifting mechanism moves the first and second fork arms relative to the platform base along the vertical direction. The first and second fork arms are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction and each are movable along a lateral direction between a retracted position, in which the fork arms completely overlap with the platform base, and an extended position, in which the fork arms protrude in the lateral direction from a lateral side of the platform base.
