A military vehicle includes a chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, and a driveline. The driveline includes an engine, an energy storage system, a front end accessory drive positioned in front of and coupled to the engine, a transmission coupled to at least one of the front axle or the rear axle, a second motor coupled to the transmission and electrically coupled to the energy storage system, and a clutch positioned between the engine and the second motor. The front end accessory drive includes an air compressor and a first motor. The first motor is electrically coupled to the energy storage system. The clutch is spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto based on operation of the air compressor. The driveline is operable in an engine-only mode and an electric-only mode.

A vehicle electric machine may include a rotor. The rotor may cooperate with a stator including a core having an end face, and end windings extending from the end face. A cooling tunnel may encase the end windings, sealing against the end face at opposing sides of the end windings, and defining an inlet configured to receive coolant. The cooling tunnel may be arranged to contain the coolant during passage over the end windings and direct the coolant toward an outlet.

A dual-motor power system or a dual-motor hybrid power system for a vehicle comprises a first motor, a second motor, an intermediate shaft, a first gear set disposed between a first driving shaft, and an intermediate shaft. The first driving shaft couples with the intermediate shaft via the first gear set, a second gear set disposed between the second driving shaft and the intermediate shaft, and a single synchronizer disposed around the second driving shaft. The synchronizer can be switched between a neutral position, a first-speed-ratio position, and a second-speed-ratio position. In the neutral position, the second driving shaft is decoupled from the first and second gear sets. In the first-speed-ratio position, the synchronizer couples the second driving shaft with the intermediate shaft via the first gear set. In the second-speed-ratio position, the synchronizer couples the second driving shaft with the intermediate shaft via the second gear set.
