    Abstract: A parallel axis gearbox is provided for a vehicle. The parallel axis gearbox includes an input shaft having a first axis of rotation and an intermediate shaft having a second axis of rotation parallel to the first axis of rotation. The intermediate shaft includes an intermediate driving gear, an intermediate driven gear, and a longitudinal bore passing through the intermediate shaft. The intermediate driven gear is meshingly engaged with a first driving gear on the input shaft. The input shaft and the intermediate shaft are contained within and supported by a cover fixedly coupled to a housing. A bolt fixedly couples the cover to the housing and passes through the longitudinal bore of the intermediate shaft.

    Abstract: A park lock roller assembly (10) includes at least one roller (12), a shaft rod (16), and a guide plate (14). The roller (12) is rotably coupled to one of the shaft rod (16). The shaft rod (16) is located within the guide plate (14) for longitudinal movement relative thereto. The park lock roller assembly (10) is pulled towards a pawl (30) to actuate the pawl (30) into locking engagement with a locking gear (38) to reliably lock a vehicle transmission in a parked position.

    Abstract: A type IV pressure vessel has improved permeate gas management. The pressure vessel comprises an inner polymeric liner, a breather layer disposed on the liner, and an outer composite shell structure disposed on the breather layer. The breather layer is gas permeable, impermeable to liquids, and provides a flow passageway for gas permeating through the liner wall collected by the breather layer. The outer composite shell is formed by one or more layers of fiber of a first fiber type and resin. Gas permeating from an interior space of the liner is received by the breather layer and directed to a predetermined exit location on the pressure vessel.

    Abstract: A rear drive module for an all-wheel drive motor vehicle includes a differential assembly having an outer differential housing and an inner differential housing, the inner differential housing being fixed for rotation with an output shaft of the differential assembly; a ring gear assembly having a ring gear mounted to and fixed for rotation with the outer differential housing; and a disconnect and synch-lock mechanism: operable to synchronize and lock the inner differential housing and the outer differential housing, and to disconnect the inner differential housing and the outer differential housing to prevent rotation of the outer differential housing and the ring gear. The disconnect and synch-lock mechanism may include a synchronizer clutch and a clutch actuator. The clutch actuator may be a ball-ramp or face cam mechanism which is configured to control the operation of the synchronizer clutch and locking between the inner and outer differential housings.

    Abstract: An axle assembly for an electric or hybrid vehicle includes electrically powered drive motors for respectively driving vehicle wheels. The axle assembly preferably includes a dual motor arrangement, wherein two electric motors are arranged end-to-end. Each motor includes an inverter that is directly connected to its respective motor, and includes a gearbox assembly coupled between an output of the motor and a corresponding constant-velocity (CV) joint operatively connected to a wheel. The inboard ends of the motors are secured to opposite faces of a cooling manifold wherein the cooling manifold maintains the motors in axial alignment. The cooling manifold plate is positioned between an inboard end of each of the motor housings, and the cooling manifold plate axially aligns the first and second motors. Further, each motor drives its respective gearbox assembly, which includes a gear reduction and clutch mechanism having a brake band assembly that is selectively operable to disconnect the respective motor from the vehicle wheel associated therewith.

    Abstract: A type IV conformable pressure vessel has improved mechanical coupling between an outer composite shell and a boss. The pressure vessel comprises an inner polymeric liner having a flare edge fixedly coupled to the boss. The boss has a bore in fluid communication with an interior of the pressure vessel. In addition, the boss has a shank extending between the liner and the outer composite shell. The shank includes a plurality of spikes projecting radially away from the boss. The outer composite shell of resin and fiber surrounds an outer periphery of the liner and an outer periphery of the shank. The spikes are embedded into the outer composite shell to mechanically fasten the outer composite shell to the boss.
