A motor gearbox and suspension arrangement is provided for a vehicle. The arrangement includes a drive system for driving a wheel of the vehicle, and the drive system includes an electric motor and a gear train associated with the motor. The arrangement further includes a housing that receives the motor and the gear train, and a suspension control arm having a first end configured to be connected to the vehicle and a second end configured to be connected to the housing.

Motor gearbox assembly

A dual-independent powertrain for a vehicle includes a transmission enclosure that houses a first transmission and a second transmission that are mechanically decoupled from each other. The enclosure includes a central frame, a first enclosure cover that interfaces with the central frame to collectively define a first transmission region on a first side of the central frame, and a second enclosure cover that interfaces with the central frame to collectively define a second transmission region on a second side of the central frame. The first transmission is housed within the first transmission region, and the second transmission is house within the second transmission region. Each transmission includes a motor-interfacing shaft that interfaces with a respective electric motor, a drive-interfacing shaft that interfaces with a respective drive wheel of a vehicle, and a multi-stage gear train mechanically coupling the motor-interfacing shaft and the drive-interfacing shaft.

Vehicle powertrain with dual-independent transmissions

A motor gearbox assembly is provided for a vehicle having two wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle. The assembly includes two independent drive systems that each include an electric motor and an associated gear train, each drive system being configured to independently drive one of the wheels. The assembly further includes a common housing that receives the motors and the gear trains such that the gear trains are at least partially positioned between the motors. Furthermore, at least portions of the drive systems have generally inverse orientations in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle when the motor gearbox assembly is mounted on the vehicle.

Disclosed therein is a hybrid aerogenerator including: blades rotating by winds; a main rotary shaft disposed on a fixed structure to rotatably mount the blades; an engine part having an engine shaft and generating rotary power using fossil fuel; a generation part having a generation shaft and generating electric currents by rotary power of the generation shaft; transferring means adapted to connect at least one of the main rotary shaft and the engine shaft to the generation shaft; a sensor adapted to measure RPM (Revolution Per Minute) of the blades; a controlling part adapted to control the transferring means and the engine part according to the RPM measured by the sensor; and an electricity storing part adapted to store the electric currents of the generation part.
