Abstract: An electrically variable transmission for an off-road vehicle including an internal combustion engine with a crankshaft. The electrically variable transmission includes a compound planetary gear assembly having a first planetary gear set with a first ring gear, a first sun gear and a first planet carrier and a second planetary gear set with a second ring gear, a second sun gear and a second planet carrier. The planet carriers are coupled together for common rotation and are coupled to an output gear for common rotation therewith. The first ring gear is in torque transferring communication with the crankshaft. The first sun gear is in torque transferring communication with a first motor generator. The second sun gear is in torque transferring communication with a second motor generator. The rotational axes of the compound planetary gear assembly and each of the motor generators are parallel rotational axes.

Abstract: An exhaust system for a snowmobile includes a muffler housing, the bottom end of the muffler housing including a muffler exhaust outlet configured to emit exhaust. The exhaust system includes a muffler housing cover spaced from the muffler housing to define an airflow channel therebetween, the muffler housing cover forming a bottom opening. The exhaust system also includes a gas combiner at least partially surrounding the muffler exhaust outlet on the bottom end of the muffler housing and extending through the bottom opening of the muffler housing cover. The gas combiner receives air from the airflow channel and the exhaust from the muffler exhaust outlet to emit a combined air-exhaust stream.

Abstract: A steering system for a snowmobile includes a handlebar assembly and a steering column that has upper and lower ends. The upper end of the steering column is coupled to the handlebar assembly. The lower end of the steering column is coupled to an input shaft of an electronic steering assist unit. An output shaft of the electronic steering assist unit is coupled directly to a steering arm assembly. First and second tie rods respectively couple the steering arm assembly to first and second ski assemblies such that turning the handlebar assembly, together with the assistance of the electronic steering assist unit, causes the ski assemblies to pivot. The steering column and the electronic steering assist unit share a common axis of rotation that is positioned along a centerline of the snowmobile.

Abstract: A bearing hub is positioned within a drivetrain assembly of a snowmobile. The bearing hub includes a body and a bearing sleeve that is coupled to the body. The body has an upper connection rigidly coupled to the chassis of the snowmobile, an aft connection rigidly coupled to the chassis of the snowmobile, a lower connection rigidly coupled to a heat exchanger and an engine mount connection resiliently coupled to an engine mount to reduce vibration transfer from the engine to the bearing hub. The bearing sleeve has a bearing aperture that is configured to receive a bearing assembly therein. The the upper connection, the aft connection and the lower connection form a triangular support arrangement for the driven shaft. The driven shaft is rotatably coupled to the bearing sleeve by the bearing assembly.
