ELECTRIFIED MILITARY VEHICLE
A front end accessory drive (FEAD) for a military vehicle. The FEAD includes a first belt, a second belt, multiple accessories, an electric motor-generator, at least one other accessory, and a sprag clutch. The accessories and the electric motor-generator are coupled with the first belt. The at least one other accessory, the first belt, and the second belt are coupled with the sprag clutch. The second belt is configured to couple with an output shaft of an engine of the military vehicle and be driven by the output shaft of the engine to drive the sprag clutch. The sprag clutch is thereby configured to drive the at least one other accessory and the first belt, and the first belt is thereby configured to drive the plurality of accessories, and the electric motor-generator.

ELECTRIFIED MILITARY VEHICLE
A driveline includes a driver configured to be positioned between an engine and a transmission. The driver includes a housing, a motor/generator, and a clutch. The housing includes an engine mount configured to couple to the engine and a backing plate configured to couple to the 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 configured to be spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto.

HYBRID POWER DRIVE SYSTEM
The invention relates to a hybrid power drive system, comprising: an internal combustion engine having a crankshaft; a first electric motor (14), wherein the first electric motor (14) is an outer rotor electric motor, and comprises an outer rotor (14.2) that is rigidly connected to the crankshaft and rotates together with the crankshaft; a transmission (15) comprising an input shaft (20); and a clutch (18) that is provided between the first electric motor (14) and the transmission (15), and is connected to the input shaft (20) of the transmission. The clutch (18) is configured to be capable of switching between the following positions: an engagement position where the clutch (18) is engaged with the outer rotor (14.2); and a separation position where the clutch (18) is separated from the outer rotor (14.2). The present system is simple in structure, high in efficiency, and low in manufacturing and maintenance costs.
HYBRID SYSTEM
A hybrid system for a vehicle includes a drive unit provided with a motor for driving wheels and a power generation unit provided with an engine and a generator driven by the engine. The power generation unit is provided so as to be adjacent to the drive unit in a separated state. One of the drive unit and the power generation unit is mounted on a vehicle body via a first mount member at a lower portion of the one unit. The other one of the drive unit and the power generation unit is mounted on the vehicle body via a second mount member at an upper portion of the other one unit.

Resolver assembly for hybrid module
A hybrid module comprising a housing, a torque converter, and a resolver assembly is provided. The torque converter comprises a turbine having a turbine shell including at least one blade attached thereto; an impeller having an impeller shell including at least one blade attached thereto; and an impeller hub attached to a radially extending end of the impeller shell. The resolver assembly comprises a rotor connected to an outer surface of the impeller hub and a stator connected to the housing.
Control apparatus for vehicle cooling apparatus
A control apparatus for a vehicle cooling apparatus that includes: a PCU cooling unit for cooling a power control unit controlling an electric motor; a T/A cooling unit for cooling a drive-force transmitting apparatus including the electric motor; and a heat exchanger for transferring heat between the PCU cooling unit and the T/A cooling unit. The T/A cooling unit includes a first pump for circulating a refrigerant of the T/A cooling unit, while the PCU cooling unit includes a second pump for circulating a refrigerant of the PCU cooling unit. The control apparatus includes a controlling portion configured to cause the first pump to be driven when a temperature of the power control unit is higher than a threshold temperature value and a temperature of the refrigerant of the PCU cooling unit is higher than a temperature of the refrigerant of the T/A cooling unit.
