Battery thermal suppression systems may be provided for battery arrays and/or traction battery packs. Exemplary thermal suppression systems may include one or more aerosol devices that are adapted to release aerosol particles that may be distributed over and/or around battery cells/battery arrays during battery thermal events, thereby mitigating thermal propagation. The aerosol devices may be active or passive devices and can be implanted at the battery array level, the traction battery pack level, or both.

Battery thermal suppression systems

An exemplary battery assembly includes a first terminal holder, and a terminal at least partially surrounded by the first terminal holder. The first terminal holder includes a locating feature to position the first terminal holder relative to a second terminal holder.

Terminal locating feature for a battery assembly

An exemplary electrified vehicle assembly includes, among other things, a lower wall of a battery enclosure and an upper wall of the battery enclosure. The upper wall includes an upper wall deformation area that is configured to deform in response to a load applied to the battery enclosure prior to other areas of the upper wall.

Deformable battery pack enclosure

An electric vehicle battery assembly according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a battery cell, a rail securing the cell, and a terminal holder in direct contact with the rail.

Terminal holder for electric vehicle battery assembly

A system for an engine includes an engine block having a cylinder, an oil delivery system including an oil reservoir at least partially enclosing an oil emulsion and providing lubricating oil to at least one cylinder, and a controller configured to adjust the heat delivered to the engine via a heat adjustment mechanism in response to a concentration of water in the oil emulsion.

Water reduction mechanism for an internal combustion engine

A hydrogen-powered hybrid powertrain system includes a hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engine operating at a lean air/fuel mixture, and a supercharger for boosting a primary drive torque produced by the engine primarily over a high operating speed range. An electric motor/generator generates a secondary drive torque for the vehicle, such that the secondary drive torque complements the boosted primary drive torque over at least a low operating speed range of the powertrain. A disconnect clutch disposed between the engine and the motor/generator engages and disengages the engine from the motor/generator, and serves to transfer the boosted primary driver torque through the motor/generator and to a power transmission system. The input at the power transmission is thus a combination of the boosted primary drive torque and the secondary drive torque having an enhanced torque characteristic over at least the low operating speed range.
