摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for torque management in a multi-motor electric vehicle. The method may include receiving a total torque request value from a vehicle control module (VCM), determining a first torque split value associated with a first motor and a second torque split value associated with a second motor, the sum of the first torque split value and the second torque split value being equal to the total torque request value, monitoring a thermal parameter of at least one of the first motor or the second motor, and adjusting the first torque split value and the second torque split value in response to the thermal parameter exceeding a threshold.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for heating a dual stack fuel cell system of a vehicle. The method may include receiving a heat power request from a first fuel cell stack, receiving a first temperature of the first fuel cell stack and a second temperature of a second fuel cell stack, initiating, responsive to the first temperature and the second temperature indicating that the first fuel cell stack and the second fuel cell stack are frozen, a freeze-start thermal operating mode for the first fuel cell stack, and transferring, during the freeze-start thermal operating mode for the first fuel cell stack, heat from a brake resistor to the first fuel cell stack.

摘要: The present disclosure provides an electric vehicle comprising a chassis, a front axle and a rear axle spaced apart and coupled to the chassis, and a battery frame assembly coupled to the chassis between the front axle and the rear axle. The battery frame assembly comprises a plurality of transversely extending members and a plurality of longitudinally extending members, wherein the plurality of transversely extending members and the plurality of longitudinally extending members define a matrix of battery pack receptacles configured to receive at least one battery pack. The battery frame assembly is configured to deflect torsionally in response to torsional deflection of the front axle relative to the rear axle.

摘要: An electric vehicle includes a first heat exchanger positioned adjacent to a front of the electric vehicle and configured to transfer heat generated from a first heat generating system to an ambient environment. The electric vehicle may further include a second heat exchanger positioned adjacent to a rear of the electric vehicle and configured to transfer heat generated from a second heat generating system to the ambient environment, and an air supply plenum positioned longitudinally between the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger and in fluid communication with the ambient environment. The air supply plenum may define a cooling air pathway extending between the ambient environment and the second heat exchanger. The air supply plenum may isolate air flowing through the cooling air pathway from air circulating within the electric vehicle.

摘要: An exhaust duct of a fuel cell exhaust system includes a convolute duct, a resonator coupled to and in fluid communication with the convolute duct, a mid-duct coupled to and in fluid communication with the resonator, and a tail duct coupled to and in fluid communication with the mid-duct, the tail duct comprising a lower duct and an upper duct. The upper duct includes an incline duct, a transition duct, a decline duct, and a hydrogen sensor having a portion positioned within the transition duct. A first portion of an exhaust is diverted to the lower duct and a second portion of the exhaust is diverted to the upper duct and measured by the hydrogen sensor to determine hydrogen content of the exhaust.
