  • System and method for providing engine braking
    Patent number: 10920680
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing noise and vibration that may be associated with engine braking are presented. In one example, intake and exhaust valve timings are adjusted to reduce engine noise and vibration at lower engine braking request levels. The engine intake and exhaust valve timings increase compression engine braking and decrease engine expansion braking for higher engine braking request levels.

  • HYBRID VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20190299970
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, frictions brakes, and a first electric machine. The engine is configured to deliver torque to first and second drive wheels along a first torque path. The friction brakes are configured to brake the first and second drive wheels along the first torque path. The first electric machine is configured to deliver torque to and brake a third drive wheel along a second torque path such that the third drive wheel is braked only by magnetic resistance generated by the first electric machine.
