Abstract: A battery assembly may include a tray, a battery pack received within the tray, a cover positioned over the battery pack and a mounting assembly connected to the tray and including at least one bushing configured to establish an interface with a vehicle component.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for boosted engines. In one example, a method for a boosted engine method may include storing compressed air in a reservoir for supply to the engine during increased engine load operating conditions and replenishing the air in response to pressure dropping below a nominal threshold; and increasing the pressure beyond the nominal threshold in response to increased temperature of the stored air in the reservoir even when operating conditions include decreased engine load, and purging the increased temperature stored air to bring pressure back down toward the nominal threshold. In one example, increasing pressure to the reservoir may include supplying compressed air from an air suspension system. In one example, increasing pressure to the reservoir may include supplying compressed air from an air compressor separate from an engine turbocharger compressor.

Abstract: A battery thermal management system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a battery assembly and a coolant subsystem that circulates coolant through the battery assembly. The battery assembly is heated by a first portion of the coolant from an engine if a temperature of the battery assembly is below a first temperature threshold and is cooled by a second portion of the coolant from a chiller if the temperature is above a second temperature threshold.

Abstract: A method to improve design efficiency by reducing power plant complexity and engineering costs by minimizing power plant changes when installing into new powertrain groups. A three-dimensional grid is defined for the powertrain group with power plant and transmission zones to define projections for attaching selected components to a powertrain version. The zones correspond to matrices dividing each of a width, length, and height of a respective plant and of a transmission into specified proportions. A respective zone is designated for attaching each of the selected components within the group. Each powertrain version is designed to place each selected component for a powertrain version within a predetermined tolerance margin of its respective designated zone. The grid organization is also applied to placement of components and placement of the powertrain itself within the underhood environment of a vehicle, a vehicle platform, or a group of vehicle models.
