    Abstract: A transmission for a propulsion system. The propulsion system includes a power unit, a power transfer system, and a propulsion element. The transmission incorporates a summation, a propulsion output, and a power transfer transmission system, which receives power from the power unit and/or the power transfer system of the propulsion system. The power transfer transmission system includes a propulsion output transmission and a summation transmission, where the propulsion output transmission receives power from the summation transmission and directs the power to the propulsion element. The power transfer transmission system provides for transfer of power between the power transfer system and the summation transmission. The power transfer transmission system includes a power transfer shaft and a power transfer coupler and selectively connects the power transfer shaft to a propulsion outlet shaft, such that power is transferred directly from the power transfer system to the propulsion output transmission.

    Abstract: A heating and cooling system for a vehicle having an internal combustion engine is provided. The system comprises at least one exhaust pipe conveying exhaust gases away from the engine, and a reactor vessel located in the exhaust pipe and containing an absorbent salt and a refrigerant fluid. A condenser is in fluid communication with the reactor vessel, and receives refrigerant vapour from the reactor when exhaust gases heat the reactor vessel in the exhaust pipe. An evaporator is locatable in a cab of the vehicle and is in fluid communication with the condenser and the reactor vessel. The evaporator receives condensed refrigerant from the condenser so as to cool the air surrounding the evaporator, and returning refrigerant vapour to the reactor vessel. A method of cooling a driver environment of a vehicle having an internal combustion engine is also provided, as is a vehicle incorporating the heating and cooling system.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a heating system for an exhaust gas treatment system. The heating system comprises a first heating element comprising a receiving surface for receiving a reductant fluid and a second heating element, which may surround the first heating element. The second heating element may be a thermochemincal or thermophysical device. In a first mode of operation the second heating element is arranged to receive thermal energy from engine exhaust gas. In second mode of operation the second heating element transfers thermal energy to heat the first heating element.
