A system (1) designed to assist individual vehicles (20, 21, 22, 23), and/or fleet management systems (30), in predicting future energy consumption of an individual vehicle (20, 21, 22, 23) is described. The system (1) is configured to collect data from a plurality of vehicles (20, 21, 22, 23), said data comprising geographic position, date and time of stops (S, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5), and vehicle load change (ΔVL) at the respective stops (S, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5). The system (1) is further configured to process the collected data. Moreover, the system (1) is configured to, based on the processed data, predict change in vehicle load (ΔVL) for an individual vehicle (20, 21, 22, 23) at one or more predefined upcoming stops (S, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) of said individual vehicle (20, 21, 22, 23). The system (1) is also configured to communicate the predicted change in vehicle load at the one or more predefined upcoming stops (S, S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) to the individual vehicle (20, 21, 22, 23) and/or a fleet management system (30) associated with said individual vehicle. The disclosure further relates to a method, performed by the system (1), for assisting an individual vehicle (20, 21, 22, 23) or fleet management system (30) associated with the individual vehicle.

A control arrangement (100) and a method for controlling a vehicle (1) in conjunction with usage of a power take-off (11, 12) of the vehicle (1). The vehicle (1) comprises a powertrain (2) configured to power the power take-off (11, 12), and an energy storage device (10) configured to power the powertrain (2). The method comprises determining (S102) a first state of charge threshold for the energy storage device (10) based on map data, said first state of charge threshold corresponding to a minimum state of charge sufficient for the vehicle (1) to reach a e.g., a predefined charging station or a nearest charging station. Optionally, the method further comprises determining (S103) a second state of charge threshold based on the first state of charge threshold. The method may further comprise activating (S105) a limitation of allowable power supply to the power take-off (11, 12) when a state of charge of the energy storage device (10) reaches the optional second state of charge threshold, and/or interrupting (S107) power supply to the power take-off (11, 12) when the state of charge of the energy storage device (10) reaches the first state of charge threshold.

A vehicle system (10) is disclosed comprising a first memory section (m1) storing tamper-proof data, a second memory section (m2) storing updateable data, a control system (20) configured to perform various functions of a host vehicle (2) based on the updateable data stored in the second memory section (m2) when the control system (20) is operating in a default mode, an input unit (5) incorporated into the host vehicle (2), and a control arrangement (21). The control arrangement (21) is configured to set the control system (20) in a secure mode in response to a manual manipulation of the input unit (5), wherein the secure mode constitutes a mode in which the control system (20) is blocked from using the updateable data stored in the second memory section (m2). The present disclosure further relates to a method (100) of setting a control system (20) of a vehicle (2) in a secure mode, a computer program, a computer-readable medium (200), a control arrangement (21), and a vehicle (2).

A coolant system (1) for a vehicle (2) is disclosed. The coolant system (1) comprises a coolant circuit (c2) configured to regulate the temperature of an arrangement (11) of the vehicle (2), a deaeration conduit (3), and a valve element (5) controllable between a closed state, in which the valve element (5) blocks the transfer of fluid through the deaeration conduit (3), and an open state, in which the valve element (5) allows the transfer of fluid through the deaeration conduit (3). The deaeration conduit (3) comprises a first end (3') connected to the coolant circuit (c2) at a local height maximum of the coolant circuit (c2) with respect to the vertical direction (vd') of the coolant system (1), and a second end (3") arranged below the first end (3') with respect to a vertical direction (vd') of the coolant system (1). The present disclosure further relates to a vehicle (2) comprising a coolant system (1).

Hybridfahrzeug sowie Verfahren, insbesondere für den Transport von Stückgütern oder Sendungen, mit einem Elektromotor zu Bewegung des Hybridfahrzeugs, einer Batterie, wobei die Batterie verbunden ist mit dem Elektromotor und den Elektromotor mit Strom versorgt. Weiterhin weist das Hybridfahrzeug eine Generatoreinheit auf, wobei die Generatoreinheit einen Verbrennungsmotor und einen mit dem Verbrennungsmotor verbundenen Generator aufweist, wobei der Generator die Bewegungsenergie des Verbrennungsmotors in Strom umwandelt zum Betrieb des Elektromotors oder zur Speicherung in der Batterie. Eine Steuereinheit ist mit der Generatoreinheit verbunden und weiterhin ausgebildet die durch das Hybridfahrzeug zurückgelegte Strecke zu ermitteln. Dabei ist die Steuereinheit weiterhin ausgebildet die Generatoreinheit zu steuern in Abhängigkeit der von dem Hybridfahrzeug zurückgelegten Strecke.
