  • VEHICLE DRIVE AXLE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROL
    Publication number: 20240100995
    Abstract: A method of controlling a drive axle system of a vehicle. The temperature of a first electric power source that is configured to store electrical energy and provide electrical energy to an electric motor to provide propulsion torque may be reduced when an upper temperature limit is exceeded. The temperature of the first electric power source may be increased when the temperature is below a lower temperature limit.
