Abstract: A valvetrain for a type II engine comprises a valve bridge, a switching rocker arm, a center capsule, a first auxiliary rocker arm, and a first auxiliary capsule. The selectively switching rocker arm is configured to switch configurations to transfer a first valve actuation profile from a first overhead cam lobe to the valve bridge center point and to transfer a second valve actuation profile from a second overhead cam lobe to the center point. The center capsule is configured to switch between an active state and a lost motion state. The first auxiliary rocker arm is configured to transfer a first auxiliary valve actuation profile from a third overhead cam lobe to the valve bridge first valve mounting area. The valvetrain can further comprise a second auxiliary rocker arm and a second auxiliary capsule.

Abstract: A method of operating a system including a hydrogen internal combustion engine and a supercharger between a normal operating mode and an engine braking mode. In the normal operating mode, the supercharger operates at a first rotational speed to deliver air to an intake manifold of the engine. In the engine braking mode, the supercharger operates at a second rotational speed to deliver air to the intake manifold and a restriction is provided to increase a pressure ratio across the supercharger.

Abstract: A transmission system selectively coupled to an engine crankshaft of an internal combustion engine arranged on a vehicle includes a transmission, an aftertreatment system, an accessory device and a controller. The aftertreatment system reduces emissions in an exhaust of the internal combustion engine. The accessory device is configured to provide power. The controller operates in an aftertreatment heat-up mode such that the aftertreatment system is heated up to an elevated temperature and emissions are thereby reduced based on the elevated temperature. The controller is configured to heat up the aftertreatment system to reach between one (1) and two (2) kilowatt hours (kWh) of enthalpy before two minutes at engine startup by (i) operating the internal combustion engine in cylinder deactivation mode (CDA); (ii) operating the internal combustion engine at an elevated idle speed; and (iii) operating the accessory device at a threshold power.

Abstract: A switchable powertrain includes a main gear set configured for gear ratio selection. The main gear set includes an input shaft, first gears coupled to a main shaft, and second gears coupled to a second shaft. The second gears are meshed with the first gears. The switchable powertrain further includes a first torque source, a second torque source, a clutch configured for selectively coupling the first torque source to the input shaft of the main gear set, and an adapter. The adapter includes a first selective coupling for forming a first adapter torque transfer pathway from the second torque source directly to the main shaft, and a second selective coupling for forming a second adapter torque transfer pathway from the second torque source, through the main gear set, and to the main shaft.
