Abstract: A dual clutch transmission includes a first and second concentric input shafts, a dual clutch assembly, a mainshaft coaxial with the first input shaft, a first countershaft, a second countershaft, and planetary range gearing with high and low ratios. The dual clutch transmission has six forward gear meshes and the high and low range ratios of the range gearing to provide ten forward gear ratios for the transmission. The transmission is powershiftable between consecutive gear ratios of the ten forward gear ratios such that no torque interrupt occurs during sequential shifts.

Abstract: A vehicle power bus control system including a control module having a communication interface and a device having a communication interface for communicating with the control module wherein the control module is adapted to transfer at least one electrical limit value to the device, and wherein the device is adapted to act in response to the electrical limit value to self-regulate an electrical quantity associated with the device.

Abstract: A method is provided for shutting down an internal combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle that includes a motor and a generator operatively connected to an engine crankshaft. The method includes the steps of reducing compression in at least one engine cylinder and operating the motor or generator to influence motion of the engine crankshaft during engine shutdown to attenuate oscillations in and expedite reduction of engine crankshaft speed. A system for shutting down a hybrid vehicle internal combustion engine is also provided.
