Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing reduced engine start times for a fumigation type internal combustion engine. A bypass is provided that directly connects the air-fuel mixer upstream of the compressor to the intake manifold, providing the air-fuel mixture to the intake manifold during engine startup.

Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus use infrared spectrometry onboard an internal combustion engine running on a natural gas fuel to detect characteristics of the fuel. At a site having a plurality of natural gas engines, detection of natural gas fuel components and concentrations of the components also is conducted at the site upstream of the point of intake of the natural gas fuel to one or more of the engines. Operating parameters of the engine or a plurality of the engines may be controlled on the basis of the detected composition of the natural gas fuel.

Abstract: A series or range extender hybrid vehicle drive system is disclosed having a combustion engine with an exhaust aftertreatment device, a motor/generator, an electrical energy storage and a traction motor. The traction motor is driven using power from the energy storage and/or the engine. A controller of the system is operable to receive input data representative of a requested power from the drive system, a state of charge indication of the electrical energy storage and at least one of the oxygen level in exhaust gas from the engine and temperature in the exhaust gas. The controller is also operable to provide output signals to control torque and speed of the engine and motor/generator to minimize exhaust emissions output and any tracking error of the state of charge of the energy storage to a desired target.

Abstract: Systems and apparatuses include a controller including at least one processor coupled to a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the controller to: determine a set of emission regulations based on a location of a vehicle; determine a target temperature of a catalyst of an aftertreatment system of the vehicle in response to the determined set of emission regulations; compare a current temperature of the catalyst to the determined target temperature; and in response to the current temperature of the catalyst being below the determined target temperature, provide a thermal management command to increase the catalyst temperature toward the determined target temperature.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a control circuit. The control circuit is structured to interpret condition data indicative of an external operating condition of a vehicle, determine an operating parameter of the vehicle based on an actuator response of an actuator of the vehicle, compare the operating parameter to an operating parameter threshold where the operating parameter threshold is based on the external operating condition, and remap an actuator response map of the actuator based on the comparison indicating that the operating parameter does not satisfy the operating parameter threshold. The operating parameter includes at least one of a fuel economy value, an emissions value, an acceleration value, a braking value, or a wear value.
