Abstract: A vehicle system for a vehicle includes a vehicle processor for storing vehicle data including vehicle location, vehicle event data, and vehicle mode. The vehicle system also includes a server communicatively coupled to the vehicle processor. The server is configured to determine if a transport mode has been selected based on one or more of the vehicle mode or the vehicle location. The server is also configured to determine if a current battery change is above a state-of-charge limitation based on the vehicle event data. Additionally, the server is configured to activate the transport mode if the current battery charge is below the state-of-charge limitation.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing gases produced by batteries includes a battery case housing multiple battery cells, each with a vent for releasing pressurized gas. A thermal barrier layer is positioned beside the cells with sacrificial regions matching the vent count. On the other side of the barrier, a vent gas conduit collects gas from any venting cell through the sacrificial region, then directs it outside the battery case into the surrounding environment.

Abstract: A thermal management system for one or more components of a vehicle includes one or more heat generating components, and one or more compartments to contain the one or more heat generating components. One or more vent openings are located in the one or more compartments. Each vent opening of the one or more vent openings are closed by a thermally active material, such that when exhaust gas from the one or more components interacts with the thermally active material, the one or more vent openings are opened allowing for removal of the exhaust gas from the compartment. One or more vent manifolds are located adjacent to the one or more vent openings. The one or more vent manifolds are configured to direct the exhaust gas to ambient through one or more manifold openings in the one or more vent manifolds.
