The chassis including a passenger capsule including a rear wall, and a rear module coupled to the passenger capsule. The rear module including a rear subframe assembly, a left rear wheel well, a right rear wheel well, and a bed. The engine coupled to the chassis for providing mechanical power to the military vehicle and the motor/generator coupled to the engine. The energy storage system including a lower support coupled to the bed, a lower isolator mount coupled to the lower support, a battery electrically coupled to the motor/generator and coupled to the isolation mounts such that the weight of the battery is supported via the lower isolator mount and the lower support, a bracket coupled to the battery, and an upper isolator mount coupling the bracket to the rear wall of the passenger capsule.

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 method of vehicle operation includes, using one or more processors, receiving one or more inputs, from one or more sensors of a first vehicle and/or one or more sources communicatively coupled with the one or more processors, while the vehicle is traveling on a vehicle route. In implementations the one or more inputs are used to determine a distance between the first vehicle and a second vehicle and this distance is used as an input to a power management system to increase an energy efficiency of the first vehicle while traveling on the vehicle route. In implementations the one or more inputs and data regarding regenerative braking of the first vehicle are used to calculate one or more speeds and a power management system applies the one or more calculated speeds to the first vehicle. In implementations a reliability estimate is calculated for the one or more calculated speeds.

The present invention relates to a thermal management system for a vehicle, which can provide various effects, such as a reduction of weight, a cost reduction, and a reduction of a package size due to a reduction in the number of components. The thermal management system for a vehicle, which includes a refrigerant circulation loop circulating refrigerant and exchanging heat between the refrigerant and inside air of an air-conditioning case in order to perform air-conditioning inside the vehicle, includes: a first coolant loop for cooling electric parts of the vehicle; and a second coolant loop for cooling a battery of the vehicle, wherein the first coolant loop and the second coolant loop are configured independently, and coolant flowing in the first coolant loop selectively circulates in the second coolant loop.

A method of vehicle operation includes, using one or more processors, receiving one or more inputs from one of one or more sensors of a first vehicle and one or more external sources communicatively coupled with the one or more processors. The one or more processors determine a plurality of optional routes existing between a first location of the first vehicle and a future destination of the first vehicle. Using the one or more inputs, the one or more processors predict a vehicle route by predicting which of the optional routes the first vehicle will take to get from the first location to the future destination.

An apparatus comprising an interface, a memory and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive sensor data samples during operation of a vehicle. The memory may be configured to store the sensor data samples over a number of points in time. The processor may be configured to analyze the sensor data samples stored in the memory to detect a pattern. The processor may be configured to manage an application of brakes of the vehicle in response to the pattern.
