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.

A hybrid multi-mode power take off system (PTO) installed on a vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a first electric reversible electric machine, a second electric reversible electric machine and one epicyclical gear train connectable with the engine and the first and second reversible electrical machines using a number of clutches. An electronic control unit controls the closure/opening of clutches to implement different operating modes. The electronic control unit is configured to control the transfer of energy between the first and the second reversible electric machines when one reversible electric machine is operating as a motor and the other is operating as a generator.

A hybrid transmission device (3) includes at least one drive device (EM2), a transmission (4) with a first transmission input shaft (12) and a second transmission input shaft (14) mounted on the first transmission input shaft (12). At least two gear-step gears (16, 18) are arranged on the second transmission input shaft (14), and the gear-step gear (16) of the highest gear step (G3) is arranged on the second transmission input shaft (14) in an axial direction toward an outer side (46, 50).

A hybrid module for a motor vehicle for coupling an internal combustion engine, comprises a first drive shaft, a first electrical machine and a first coupling device, as well as a second drive shaft and, associated therewith, a second electrical machine, and a second coupling device; and further comprises an output element, the first or second drive shaft being connectable to the output element by way of a first or second coupling device, wherein the two coupling devices can be simultaneously actuated by a movement of an actuation element which is mechanically coupled to the two coupling devices. The hybrid module disclosed provides a drive device for a motor vehicle that offers energy-efficient operation in a plurality of different operating modes while requiring a small installation space.

A hybrid vehicle and a control method are provided. The method of controlling a hybrid vehicle including a motor, an engine, and an engine clutch disposed between the motor and the engine includes determining whether to enter a first mode in which both the engine and the motor operate without engagement of the engine clutch, based on at least a first condition related to an accelerator pedal and a second condition related to a required torque condition, determining torque of the motor in consideration of at least required torque upon determining entry into the first mode, and determining an operating point of the engine based on engine generation power to be supplied to the motor with power of the engine.
