Abstract
A military vehicle includes an engine configured to drive a front-end accessory drive and a tractive element, an energy storage system including a battery and a controller configured to control the flow of electricity to and from the energy storage system, a first motor/generator, and a second motor/generator. The first motor/generator is electrically coupled to the energy storage system and configured to selectively draw power from the energy storage system to drive the front-end accessory drive and be driven by the front-end accessory drive to generate electricity and supply electricity to the energy storage system to charge the battery. The integrated motor/generator is electrically coupled to the energy storage system and configured to selectively draw power from the energy storage system to drive the tractive element and be driven by the engine to generate electricity and supply electricity to the energy storage system to charge the battery.
