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.

An energy storage system for a military vehicle includes a lower support, a battery supported on the lower support, a bracket coupled to the battery, and an upper isolator mount coupled between the bracket and a wall. The upper isolator mount is configured to provide front-to-back vibration isolation of the battery relative to the wall.

A control unit for a hybrid drive of a vehicle is provided. The hybrid drive includes an internal combustion engine and an electric machine. The hybrid drive is designed in such a way that the electric machine is used for providing a drive torque of the vehicle and for starting the internal combustion engine. The control unit is configured to predict a start time, at which at least a part of the total power of the electric machine is available for a starting process of the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, the control unit is configured to start the internal combustion engine at the predicted start time by way of the electric machine.

A fire fighting vehicle includes an energy storage system coupled to the chassis and a charging assembly configured to interface with a charging plug. The energy storage system includes battery cells. The charging assembly includes a housing, a charging port disposed within the housing and electrically coupled to the battery cells, a retainer positioned proximate the charging port, a first actuator, and a second actuator. The charging port is configured to engage with a charging interface of the charging plug. The retainer is configured to engage with a retaining interface of the charging plug to secure the charging interface within the charging port. The first actuator is positioned to release the retaining interface from engagement with the retainer by repositioning the retaining interface into a release position. The second actuator is positioned to eject the charging plug from the charging assembly when the retaining interface is in the release position.

A rotor carrier for an electric machine having a sleeve-shaped receiving region and at least one flange-like carrier region connected to a hub or shaft. The receiving region has on its outer circumferential surface at least one driving groove extending in axial direction, and a plurality of radial oil bore holes are provided in the receiving region so as to be distributed over the circumference. An encoder wheel having a nonmagnetic material is provided at an axial end of the rotor carrier, and in that the encoder wheel protrudes over the receiving region in radial direction to serve as an axial limit for a rotor lamination stack.

An example vehicle frame disclosed herein includes end frames having wheels coupled thereto, and a central frame coupled between the end frames, the central frame positioned at an offset relative to the end frames, the vehicle frame rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the vehicle frame between a first position and a second position, the central frame at a first distance from the ground when the vehicle frame is in the first position, the central frame at a second distance from the ground when the vehicle frame is in the second position, the first distance greater than the second distance.

An electrified fire fighting vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, a water tank supported by the chassis, an energy storage system coupled to the chassis and positioned rearward of the cab, a water pump supported by the chassis, and an electromagnetic device electrically coupled to the energy storage system. The electromagnetic device is coupled to the water pump and at least one of the front axle or the rear axle. The electromagnetic device is configured to receive stored energy from the energy storage system and provide a mechanical output to selectively drive the water pump and the at least one of the front axle or the rear axle.
