A through the road (TTR) hybridization strategy is proposed to facilitate introduction of hybrid electric vehicle technology in a significant portion of current and expected trucking fleets. In some cases, the technologies can be retrofitted onto an existing vehicle (e.g., a truck, a tractor unit, a trailer, a tractor-trailer configuration, at a tandem, etc.). In some cases, the technologies can be built into new vehicles. In some cases, one vehicle may be built or retrofitted to operate in tandem with another and provide the hybridization benefits contemplated herein. By supplementing motive forces delivered through a primary drivetrain and fuel-fed engine with supplemental torque delivered at one or more electrically-powered drive axles, improvements in overall fuel efficiency and performance may be delivered, typically without significant redesign of existing components and systems that have been proven in the trucking industry.

A method for controlling driving force of a vehicle includes: determining, by a controller, a basic torque command on the basis of vehicle operation information collected while a vehicle is driven; obtaining, by the controller, tire vertical load information and vehicle pitch motion information in real time during the vehicle is driven on the basis of the information collected from the vehicle; determining, by the controller, a final torque command using the determined basic torque command and the obtained tire vertical load information and vehicle pitch motion information; and controlling, by the controller, a torque output of a driving device configured to drive the vehicle according to the determined final torque command.

In accordance with at least one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for controlling power in an aircraft. The method includes, monitoring an electric energy storage module electrically connected to an electrical bus for an exceedance of a first current limit and monitoring a generator module connected to the electrical bus for an exceedance of a second current limit. If the current limit of either of the electric energy storage module or the generator module is exceeded by a predetermined exceedance amount, the method includes reducing a power consumption for an electric machine by a predetermined bias until the exceedance of the electrical energy storage and the exceedance of the generator module are both less than or equal to zero.

The right wheel is disconnected from the left wheel. The motor control module is configured to control at least one of a first electric motor and a second electric motor based on the reference speed range. The first electric motor is connected to the left wheel. The second electric motor is connected to the right wheel.
