    摘要: A braking system for a vehicle at least partially propelled by an electric traction motor electrically connected to an electric power system. The braking system comprises an electric machine configured to be electrically connected to the electric power system, the electric machine comprising a first output shaft and a second output shaft, an air blower controllably connected to the first output shaft by a clutch, the clutch being controllable between an open position in which no power is transmitted from the electric machine to the air blower, and a closed position in which power is transmitted from the electric machine to the air blower, and a fluid pump operatively connected to the electric machine via the second output shaft, wherein the fluid pump is arranged in upstream fluid communication with a fluidly operated member and in downstream fluid communication with a fluid tank.

    摘要: A vehicle control device includes a motor, a transmission unit, a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of the motor, a vehicle speed sensor that detects a vehicle speed, and a controller. The controller controls switching of the transmission unit based on a first temperature determined in accordance with the vehicle speed as the temperature at which the transmission unit is switched from connection to disconnection, and a second temperature determined in accordance with the vehicle speed as the temperature at which the transmission unit is switched from the disconnection to the connection. The first temperature decreases as the vehicle speed increases. The controller switches the transmission unit from the connection to the disconnection based on the first temperature, and then switches the transmission unit from the disconnection to the connection based on the second temperature.

    摘要: The present disclosures relate to methods and systems for a hybrid powertrain. The hybrid powertrain system includes an integrated axle configured to provide mechanical power to a first pair of wheels, the integrated axle comprising a first motor-generator and a first drive axle such that the first motor-generator and at least a portion of the first drive axle are mechanically coupled to a common housing. The system also includes a second motor-generator configured to be mechanically coupled with an engine via a first clutch and mechanically coupled with a second drive axle via a second clutch, the second drive axle mechanically coupled with a second pair of wheels. A controller is electrically coupled with the first and second motor-generators, the engine, and the first and second clutches, the controller configured to enable a fully electric mode, a series hybrid mode, a parallel hybrid mode, and a regenerative mode of operation.

    摘要: A Level IV fuel-saving robot system for ACE HDTs of the present disclosure focuses on the minimization of actual fuel consumption (L/100 km) for long-haul freight at first based on an electrical power split device (cPSD) and a mixed hybrid powertrain architecture. A basic model Level I fuel-saving robot realizes a longitudinal L1 automatic driving function through a predictive adaptive cruise (PACC) technology within an Operational Design Domain (ODD) for highways and reduces the actual fuel consumption of an ACE HDT by more than 20% compared with modern diesel HDTs, and the energy-saving and emission-reducing effect of the basic model Level I fuel-saving robot is decoupled from both the technical level of a vehicle engine and the driving level of a driver; an advanced Level IV fuel-saving robot has a IA automatic driving function within the ODD for highways, operates in a “shadow mode” or “detached mode”, automatically generates a discrepancy report or detachment report, completes the “3R.” batch validation for an L4 system on a billion mile scale quickly with high cost effectiveness on the premise of ensuring the traffic safety of existing road users and reduces the total validation expense by more than 65% compared with the modern HDT with internal combustion engine equipped with the L4 system, promoting the early commercialization of the Level IV fuel-saving robot.
