  • Patent number: 11376943
    Abstract: A driveline for a military vehicle includes an engine, an energy storage system, an accessory drive coupled to the engine, a transmission configured to couple to at least one of a front axle or a rear axle of the military vehicle, a second motor coupled to the transmission and electrically coupled to the energy storage system, and a clutch positioned between the engine and the second motor. The accessory drive includes an air compressor and a first motor. The first motor is electrically coupled to the energy storage system. The clutch is spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto based on operation of the air compressor. The driveline is operable in a plurality of modes including an engine-only mode and an electric-only mode.

  • Patent number: 11377089
    Abstract: A military vehicle including a chassis, an engine, a motor/generator, and an energy storage system. The chassis including a passenger capsule and a rear module coupled to the passenger capsule. The passenger capsule includes a rear subframe assembly, a left rear wheel well, a right rear wheel well, and a bed. The engine is coupled to the chassis for providing mechanical power to the military vehicle and the motor/generator is coupled to the engine. The energy storage system including a battery coupled to the rear module between the left rear wheel well and the right rear wheel well, the energy storage system electrically coupled to the chassis and electrically coupled to the motor/generator. The military vehicle is operable in a silent mobility mode with the engine inactive and the energy storage system providing power to the motor/generator to operate the military vehicle.
