Abstract: A vehicle includes at least one drive wheel, a powerplant, a clutch, and a controller. The powerplant is configured to generate and deliver power to the at least one drive wheel. The clutch is disposed between the at least one drive wheel and the powerplant. The controller is programmed to, in response to detecting the at least one drive wheel disengaging the ground during a vehicle jump, open the clutch to disconnect the at least one drive wheel from the powerplant.

Abstract: This disclosure details cooling systems for cooling electric components, such as electric machines, within electrified vehicles. Exemplary cooling systems may include a spray bar positioned relative to a rear face of a stator of the electric machine. In some embodiments, the spray bar may be positioned axially between the rear face of the stator and a torque converter housing. One or more nozzles of the spray bar are configured to direct a coolant between adjacent back irons of the stator, onto end windings of the stator, or both. Actively cooling the stator allows the electric machine to operate at higher torques and speeds, thereby increasing performance.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a continuously-variable transmission (CVT) that is supplied with power from an input. The CVT also includes a pair of pulleys, at least one of which having a variator that is configured to translate linearly along an axis of the input. A mechanical lock is configured to selectively lock the input with the variator such that the input and the variator rotate in unison. This allows the hydraulic pressure supplied to the CVT to reduce while the variator and the input remain locked.

Abstract: A continuously variable transmission includes a first shaft driveably connected to a power-plant and having a first pair of sheave disks, and a second shaft having a second pair of sheave disks. A tension member is connected to the first and second pairs of disks such that power is transmittable between the first and second shafts. A third shaft is selectively driveably connected to the second shaft via a clutch. The clutch includes an inner race fixed to one of the second and third shafts, and an outer race fixed to a gear and having an inner surface circumscribing the inner race. At least one pawl is biased to couple the races in a fixed relationship for common rotation. The clutch further includes an electric coil and an armature configured to engage the pawl to decouple the races in response to current being supplied to the electric coil.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, motor, transmission, and electronically controlled one-way clutch. The engine includes an output. The motor includes a rotor and a stator. The transmission includes an input that is rotatably coupled to the rotor. The transmission is configured to receive power from the engine and the motor. The electronically controlled one-way clutch has an inner race that is secured to the output of the engine and an outer race that is secured to the rotor. The electronically controlled one-way clutch is configured to rotatably couple the output to the rotor.
