A vehicle includes a battery, an electric power acquirer, a relay, a power supply unit, and a controller. The controller is able to switch a mode of electric power transmission to a direct transmission mode on the first condition that electric power is transmitted from the electric power acquirer to the battery and the power supply unit is in continuous operation or starts up. The direct transmission mode includes that the relay is in a disconnected state and electric power is transmitted from the electric power acquirer to the power supply unit.

An assembly includes a movable door assembly and a heating element. The movable door assembly is configured to be disposed on an exterior of a vehicle. The heating element is coupled to the movable door assembly, and is configured to receive energy from a battery disposed on the vehicle and to heat at least a portion of the movable door assembly.

Cooling systems of a work vehicle that provide targeted cooling, regenerative cooling and/or a combination therein. A cooling system includes plural fans configured to provide airflow across a radiator and a fan controller in communication with the plural fans. The fan controller is configured to receive operating condition data associated with at least one of the radiator and an engine. The fan controller is configured to determine a total target heat rejection value based on the operating condition data; determine a plurality of target fan operation values for the plural fans, based on the total target heat rejection value and the operating condition data; and control operation of the plural fans at plural independent fan speeds based on the plural fan operation values.

An air conditioner system for mobility is provided. The air conditioner system is configured to secure the air conditioning performance in cooling and heating conditioning and to prevent a battery from being deteriorated as the battery is prevented from being overcharged while the air conditioner system is driven when the battery is charged by the regenerative breaking while the charge amount of the battery is already high.
