A hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine drive that includes at least one internal combustion engine and an electromotive drive that includes at least one electric motor and a battery. The battery can be charged both via the internal combustion engine and via an external power supply. At least one electronic control unit is designed such that, in the event of at least one defined condition that indicates an insufficient use of the electromotive drive compared to the internal combustion engine drive, at least one coercive measure is taken to influence the behavior of the driver towards increasing the use of the electrical drive. The coercive measure may be keeping an automatically lockable fuel tank cover locked.

In the lid opening and closing device, the rotating body at the initial position rotates to one side in the rotation direction, so that the lock member is disengaged from the first link. Further, the first link and the rotating body are provided with a differential connecting mechanism, and the differential connecting mechanism connects the rotating body and the first link to operate the link mechanism at the retracted position after the lock member is disengaged from the first link, when the rotating body is rotating. As a result, the differential connecting mechanism imparts a time difference between the two operations of the rotating body. Therefore, the lock member and the link mechanism can be operated by rotationally driving the rotating body by a single actuator.

It is provided an adjustment mechanism, comprising a closure flap for at least partially closing a closure opening on a vehicle, via which, when the closure flap is opened, a connection element for connecting a line and/or a port for topping up a liquid, in particular a fuel, is accessible, a drive for adjusting the closure flap by external force in response to an operator control event, and an electronic control unit which is coupled to the drive and by means of which the drive is activated to open the closure flap in response to an operator control event which is detected in a contactless manner, and, on the other hand, is automatically stopped or reversed in so far as, when the closure flap closes, a possible obstacle is detected in a contactless manner in the adjustment path of the closure flap by means of an anti-pinch mechanism.

The present disclosure relates to an actuating assembly and a fuel filler or charging inlet flip assembly. The actuating assembly comprises a driving gear and a transmission gear. The transmission gear is configured to be capable of rotating in a first direction to open the flip and in a second direction to close the flip, driven by the driving gear. An outer periphery of the driving gear is provided with a first outer periphery portion and a second outer periphery portion, the first outer periphery portion is provided on one side of the second outer periphery portion in a circumferential direction, the first outer periphery portion comprises a plurality of driving teeth, the second outer periphery portion comprises a driving gear abutting portion. The actuating assembly can allow for a reduced machining accuracy, and thus allow for a smoother engagement of the driving gear and the transmission gear.

A reservoir cap closure indicator coupled to a cap comprises a body configured to move between a first position and a second position. An indicator coupled to the body indicates a position of the reservoir cap closure indicator as the body moves between the first position and the second position.

A covering device (100) for a vehicle, includes: a cover (10); a drive element (40a, 40b) formed to enable a movement of the cover, wherein the drive element brings about a force which acts on the cover. The covering device has a force-limitation apparatus (30a, 30b) which limits the force brought about by the drive element to a limit force so that the covering device is protected in the event of an overload acting on the covering device and/or a user is protected when using the covering device. An actuator (200) has a drive apparatus (210) with a drive element (211); an output drive element (290); and a force-decoupling apparatus (230). The force-decoupling apparatus is formed so that it at least temporarily does not output a force taken up by the drive element or at least temporarily outputs it in a delayed manner to the output drive element.

Disclosed are a fuel door having a cap sealing structure which obviates a cap for urea solution or water injection and a vehicle including the same. The fuel door includes a protrusion configured to protrude from an inner side of the fuel door and comprising a hollow and at least one cutout part being in fluid communication with the hollow, a membrane member coupled to the protrusion so as to cover the hollow of the protrusion, and a sealing member installed on the protrusion along a circumference of the membrane member.

A latch device includes a case, a rod juts out from inside the case so as to adopt an advanced position, a rod biasing member biases the rod in a jutting out direction pushing the rod out from inside the case, a lock mechanism that includes a slide cam that moves together with the rod in the jutting out direction and a rotation cam that is relatively rotatable with respect to the slide cam about an axis of the rod, with the lock mechanism locking the rod in a retracted position in the case due to the rotation cam engaging with the slide cam and rotating due to the rod being pressed in, a guide mechanism for rotating the rod about the axial direction thereof when the rod is advancing or retracting, and an engagement portion that engages with an engaged portion when the rod has been locked.

The present application relates to a cover assembly including a housing, a cover, a drive member, a first transmission member, and a second transmission member. The housing has a cavity. The cover has a closed position and an open position. The cover closes a door plate opening of a door plate when the cover is in the closed position and the door plate opening is exposed when the cover is in the open position. The drive member is movable relative to the housing. The first transmission member is rotatably connected with the cover and is rotatably connected with the drive member. The second transmission member is rotatably connected with the cover and is rotatably connected with the drive member. The drive member, the first transmission member, the second transmission member and the cover collectively form a linkage and are configured to drive the cover to move relative to the housing between the closed position and the open position. The cover assembly of the present application can prevent the cover in a closed state from being opened due to external force, and no additional locking means need to be provided. Furthermore, a cover in the open position is arranged parallel to a cover in the closed position, which can save space occupied by the cover assembly in a vehicle.
