A control system for operating a military vehicle according to different modes includes processing circuitry that receives a user input indicating a selected mode of the different modes, and operates a driveline and a front end accessory drive (FEAD) of the military vehicle according to the selected mode. The driveline of the military vehicle includes an engine and an integrated motor generator (IMG) and the FEAD includes multiple accessories and an electric motor-generator. The modes include an engine mode and an electric mode. In the engine mode, the engine drives the FEAD and drives tractive elements of the military vehicle through the IMG for transportation. In the electric mode, the engine is shut off to reduce a sound output of the military vehicle and the IMG drives the tractive elements of the military vehicle for transportation and the electric motor-generator drives the FEAD.

A vehicle, electric machine, and method of manufacturing an electric machine include a stator having teeth extending from a yoke portion toward a rotor and defining slots between adjacent teeth with windings positioned within the slots, wherein the slots are coated with an electrically insulating material having an arcuate surface exiting the slots and extending at least partially over the teeth on at least one end face of the stator to form a winding guide for bending/positioning the windings. The winding guide may be formed by a molded epoxy that replaces insulating paper slot liners while providing a template for forming the hairpin bends of end windings.

An electric vehicle backup battery is provided. The back up battery is removably positionable within an interior or the vehicle and can operate to directly power the vehicle, or charge a primary battery of the vehicle, if and when the primary battery runs out of charge, to allow the electric vehicle to reach a charging source.

A control assembly for use with a vehicle having a pivot arm for controlling output of the vehicle includes a bracket, a yoke attached to the pivot arm, and a shaft engaged to the yoke and extending into the bracket. The pivot arm is rotatable about a first axis of rotation between a neutral position and a plurality of forward positions and a plurality of reverse positions. When in the neutral position, the pivot arm may also rotate about a second axis of rotation between an operative position and a stopped position, and a switch may be engaged when the pivot arm is rotated to the stopped position. A return to neutral assembly may provide a return force to the pivot arm when it is rotated about the first axis of rotation away from the neutral position.

Vehicles may be composed of a relatively few number of “modules” that are assembled together during a final assembly process. An example vehicle may include a body module, a first drive module coupled to a first end of the body module, and a second drive module coupled to a second end of the body module. One or both of the drive modules may include a pair of wheels, a battery, an electric drive motor, and/or a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. One or both of the drive modules may also include a crash structure to absorb impacts. If a component of a drive module fails or is damaged, the drive module can be quickly and easily replaced with a new drive module, minimizing vehicle down time.

An electrified vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis at a front end thereof, a body assembly coupled to the chassis, and an energy storage system including a plurality of battery cells. The body assembly is positioned behind the cab with a space defined therebetween. The energy storage system is positioned within the space between the chassis and the body assembly.

A frame for an electric vehicle (10) comprising: a head pipe (12) and at least two rear tubes (13) extending rearwardly from the head pipe (12); an electric battery module (24) used as a power source for powering the electric vehicle comprising at least one battery located below rear portion (13B) of said rear tubes (13); a protective frame structure (23) for securely mounting said battery module (24); wherein said protective frame structure (23) is fixed to said rear tubes (13) of said frame and provided substantially centrally and downwardly of said vehicle (10).

A vehicle lower structure includes: first and second battery units that are arranged under a floor panel and on both sides in a vehicle width direction of a propeller shaft; right and left floor frames disposed on a lower surface side of the floor panel. The floor frame has a front inclined section and a width increased section. The first and second battery units are arranged between the width increased sections 52 of the right and left floor frames. A battery-related electrical component, a width of each of which in the vehicle width direction is less than a width of each of the first and second battery units, is arranged between the front inclined sections.

A battery unit mounting structure for a vehicle includes: left and right rear frames extending along a front-rear direction; a battery unit including a housing in which a battery is housed and which is disposed between the rear frames, and a battery frame provided with protruding portions extending in a vehicle width direction and protruding in the vehicle width direction beyond a space between the rear frames; and reinforcing plates provided permanently with the rear frames respectively in regions in which the rear frames and the protruding portions are respectively fixed to each other. Each of the reinforcing plates extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle in a corresponding one of the regions in which the rear frames and the protruding portions are respectively fixed to each other. The battery frame and each of the rear frames are fixed to each other at first and second fastening portions.

A hydraulic excavator as an electric work machine includes an electric motor, a plurality of battery units that store electric power to drive the electric motor, and a machine-body frame on which the electric motor and the plurality of battery units are mounted. The plurality of battery units are located in parallel in one direction and aligned in a direction perpendicular to the one direction in the machine-body frame. At least two of the plurality of battery units have end parts located by being shifted from each other in one direction, respectively.
