    摘要: A vehicle utilizes an internal combustion powertrain to propel front wheels and an Electric Rear Axle Drive (ERAD) to propel rear wheels. In some circumstances, a controller may need to limit motor torque in the ERAD to avoid overheating the motor, which reduces fuel efficiency. To reduce the likelihood of needing to limit motor torque, refrigerant from the vehicle air conditioning system is circulated through the motor housing. In response to commands from a controller, a valve routes the refrigerant either through the air conditioning system evaporator or through the motor housing.

    摘要: An electric machine for an electrified vehicle includes a stator including windings and a bridge extending across the windings and in engagement with the windings. The electric machine further includes a temperature sensor assembly secured to the bridge. The temperature sensor assembly includes a retention housing having a base and spaced apart retention arms extending from the base. The temperature sensor assembly further includes a temperature sensor disposed within the retention housing. An adhesive is disposed between the retention housing and the bridge.
