  • Patent number: 11485228
    Abstract: A military vehicle includes a chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, and a driveline. The driveline includes an engine, an energy storage system, a front end accessory drive positioned in front of and coupled to the engine, a transmission coupled to at least one of the front axle or the rear axle, 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 front end 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 an engine-only mode and an electric-only mode.

  • Patent number: 11465486
    Abstract: A driveline for a military vehicle includes a driver. The driver includes a housing, a motor/generator, and a clutch. The housing includes an engine mount configured to couple to an engine and a backing plate configured to couple to a transmission. The motor/generator is disposed within the housing and configured to couple to an input of the transmission. The clutch is disposed within the housing and coupled to the motor/generator. The clutch is configured to selectively couple an output of the engine to the motor/generator. The clutch is spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto.
