Abstract: A through the road (TTR) hybridization strategy is proposed to facilitate introduction of hybrid electric vehicle technology in a significant portion of current and expected trucking fleets. In some cases, the technologies can be retrofitted onto an existing vehicle (e.g., a trailer, a tractor-trailer configuration, etc.). In some cases, the technologies can be built into new vehicles. In some cases, one vehicle may be built or retrofitted to operate in tandem with another and provide the hybridization benefits contemplated herein. By supplementing motive forces delivered through a primary drivetrain and fuel-fed engine with supplemental torque delivered at one or more electrically-powered drive axles, improvements in overall fuel efficiency and performance may be delivered, typically without significant redesign of existing components and systems that have been proven in the trucking industry.

Abstract: Systems and methods of providing traction assistance in a vehicle are disclosed that include determining whether a slip condition exists on a route of the vehicle based on vehicle data, external data, or a combination thereof, determining an electric drive powertrain configuration that includes a minimum state of charge (SoC) for a battery system of the vehicle based on the slip condition, and communicating the electric drive powertrain configuration to an electric drive powertrain controller, which operates the electric drive powertrain in accordance with the electric drive powertrain configuration to provide the minimum SoC to the battery system prior to the vehicle travelling over a portion of the route where the slip condition exists.

Abstract: A system and method for adjusting an operating parameter on a vehicle or a set of vehicles comprises accessing route data and compressing the route data into a plurality of linearized segments. Each segment is determined by analyzing points along the route to determine when a set of points indicates an uphill, downhill or flat segment. Using the segment information, configuration information for a vehicle and a weight of the vehicle, embodiments determine a performance plan that is tailored to the vehicle. The vehicle operates in accordance with the performance plan based on cost, environmental impact or extending vehicle operating life.

Abstract: An electric drivetrain for installation in a vehicle chassis. A generator coupled to an engine generates electric power for charging an array of batteries. The vehicle, including components and subsystems, may be powered electrically from the batteries, allowing the engine and generator to be easily replaced or customized for an industry, geographic region, fuel type, or a set of emission requirements. A thermal management system may determine a battery temperature for the set of batteries and cause one or more of a coolant system, a refrigerant system, an exhaust gas system, or an ambient air heat exchanger to add heat to the set of batteries or transfer heat away from the set of batteries.
