Piping, drive train unit comprising such a piping, and installation method
A piping (1) for guiding a fluid within a drive train unit (G) of a motor vehicle includes a pipe (R). A stop (R1A) is formed at a first end (R1) of the piping (1). A sealing element (R2D) is provided at a second end (R2) of the piping (1). The sealing element (R2D) acts as an axial seal. In order to improve a sealing effect of the sealing element (R2D), the piping (1) is loaded along an extension direction of the piping (1). A drive train unit (G) for a motor vehicle including such a piping (1) and a method for installing such a piping (1) into such a drive train unit (G) is also provided.
System and methods for a fuel tank pressure control pump
Systems for hybrid electric engines have a fuel vapor canister (FVC) in fluid communication with (i) fuel vapor in a fuel tank with a refueling valve therebetween, (ii) an intake manifold with a canister purge valve therebetween, and (iii) atmospheric pressure (atm) with a canister vent valve (CVV) therebetween, a bypass loop around the refueling valve, and a pressure sensor upstream of both the refueling valve and the CVV. The loop has a control pump and a control valve controlling fluid communication with atm, and in a first mode, control valve and CVV open, pumps fuel vapor to the FVC for pressure control, then closes the control valve; in a second mode, control valve closed and CVV open, pumps atm to the FVC; and in a third mode, control valve and CVV open, pumps fuel vapor to the FVC to a pre-selected threshold to close the CVV.

Hybrid vehicle and method of cooling turbocharger
When a prescribed execution condition is satisfied at the time of transition from HV traveling (that is, traveling performed by an engine and a motor with generation of traveling driving force by the engine) to EV traveling (that is, traveling performed by the motor without generation of traveling driving force by the engine), a controller of a hybrid vehicle performs motoring (or a self-sustaining operation) of an engine and thereafter stops the engine.

Hybrid vehicle and control method for same
The hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a motor connected to the engine, and an electronic control unit configured to control the motor to execute motoring to rotate a crankshaft of the engine. The electronic control unit is configured to execute speed-drop offset control when a rotation speed of the engine falls below a first rotation speed that is lower than a self-sustaining rotation speed of the engine while the engine is operated in a self-sustaining manner at the self-sustaining rotation speed.
