    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.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of providing one or more fully integrated compact power modules in a vehicle are disclosed. The fully integrated compact power module is mounted to a vehicle and includes: a housing, a battery system disposed in the housing, and a generator disposed in the housing. The battery system selectively supplies electrical power to the generator, at least one component or system of the vehicle, at least one component or system independent of the vehicle, or a combination thereof. The generator selectively burns one or more fuels to generate electrical power and selectively supplies the generated electrical power to the battery system, at least one component or system of the vehicle, at least one component or system independent of the vehicle, or a combination thereof. The generator also selectively supplies heating or cooling to at least one building, enclosure, or other structure.

    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: Systems and methods of providing a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and electrical power generation (HVAC-P) system are disclosed. The HVAC-P includes at least one generator, an optional battery system, and a system controller. The HVAC-P system is operable to generate and supply heating, cooling, and electrical power to a building (residential and/or commercial), camping trailer, recreational vehicle, or other habitable structure in which the HVAC-P system is installed. In the heating mode, the generator burns one or more fuels to generate and supply a heated airflow to the building, camping trailer, recreational vehicle, or other habitable structure and electrical power to the battery system, the building, the electrical grid, another generator, or a combination thereof. In the cooling mode, the generator operates on electrical power provided by the battery system, the electrical grid, another generator, or a combination thereof to generate and supply a cooled airflow to the building, camping trailer, recreational vehicle, or other habitable structure.

    Abstract: A multi-fuel system and a method for supplying one or more fuels to an engine in a vehicle having a multi-fuel system are disclosed. Embodiments may determine a quantity of fuel added to one or more tanks, determine energy content and a mass property for each fuel stored in the tanks and supply one or more fuels from the tanks to achieve an operating parameter of the vehicle. Embodiments may analyze a route and determine, for a segment on the route, whether to supply a first fuel with a first set of characteristics or supply a second fuel with a second set of characteristics. The selection of a single fuel or a mixture of two or more fuels for a segment may be based on cost and/or characteristics related to emissions or power.
