A vehicle is provided having at least one swing-out cooling assembly. A method of assembling the at least one swing-out cooling assembly on the vehicle is further provided.

Swing-out coolers and cooling fans

A system and method for providing additional speed retardation capacity is disclosed that utilizes parasitic loads of the vehicle. A vehicle is disclosed that includes a vehicle control system for sensing overspeed conditions, a powertrain, and a parasitic load. When an overspeed condition is detected, the parasitic load that is normally deactivated to improve efficiency is activated to remove power from the powertrain. Temperature sensors can monitor a load temperature and the parasitic loads can be controlled based on the temperature readings. A method is disclosed that includes detecting overspeed conditions, activating parasitic loads to absorb power when an overspeed condition is detected, and deactivating the loads when the overspeed condition ceases. The parasitic loads can be controlled separately or together. The method can include cumulative actions based on greater overspeed conditions.

System and method for using vehicle parasitic loads to aid with vehicle speed retardation

A work machine having an air-breathing, fuel-consuming, liquid-cooled internal combustion (IC) engine and a turbocharger receiving combustion products from the IC engine and a compressor for pressurizing air to the IC engine. A primary heat exchanger is in fluid flow connection between the compressor and the IC engine and a secondary heat exchanger is in fluid flow connection between the compressor and the IC engine and is upstream of the primary heat exchanger. The secondary heat exchanger is an air-to-liquid heat exchanger and receives liquid coolant from the IC engine.

Internal combustion engine charge air cooler precooler

An articulated vehicle is provided having a cab portion, a trailer portion, and a coupling assembly positioned between the cab portion and the trailer portion. A front wheel assembly may support the cab portion, and a rear wheel assembly may support the trailer portion. The vehicle may include an overspeed protection system configured to protect the vehicle from an overspeed condition.
