    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing a configurable powertrain in a vehicle are disclosed. The powertrain is capable of operating in a plurality of powertrain configurations and includes one or more reversible generators, a battery system, a motor/generator (M/G), and one or more drive axles. The generators generate and supply electrical power to the battery system, the M/G, an external power source, or a combination thereof. The battery system selectively supplies electrical power to the generators, the M/G, the external power source, or a combination thereof. The one or more generators also selectively supply cooling to the battery system, a cab of the vehicle, a trailer or external enclosure or structure of the vehicle, or a combination thereof. The powertrain configurations of the vehicle include operating the components of the powertrain in various combinations based on demands of the vehicle and/or external power sources or structures.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method executed using a computer that is communicatively coupled to an actuator comprises, in one embodiment: obtaining, from electronic memory coupled to the computer, a target setpoint value, upper bound value, lower bound value, and proximity value; continuously measuring, using the actuator, a current value of a metric associated with the actuator; in response to determining, based on the proximity value, that the current value is near the upper bound value or that a rate of approach of the current value to the upper bound value is greater than an approach threshold, signaling the actuator to cause a reduction of the metric; in response to determining, based on the proximity value, that the current value is near the lower bound value or that a rate of approach of the current value to the lower bound value is greater than an approach threshold, signaling the actuator to cause an increase in the metric.

    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.
