Hybrid vehicle with rankine cycle system, in-wheel motor and power module integrated with power train components

A hybrid vehicle comprising:

• one or more in-wheel motors;
• a power electronics including a DC-AC inverter, a AC-DC inverter, and a converter;
• and
• a Rankine cycle system comprising
• a pump driving a working fluid through the Rankine cycle system,
• a first valve including an input receiving working fluid from the pump, a first output passing the working fluid through the AC-DC inverter, and a second output passing the working fluid through the one or more in-wheel motors and the DC-AC inverter,
• a second valve including a first input receiving the working fluid exiting from the AC-DC inverter, a second input receiving the working fluid exiting from the one or more in-wheel motors and the DC-AC inverter and an output,
• an evaporator receiving the working fluid from the output of the second valve and heating the working fluid utilizing heat from an exhaust gas from an engine,
• an expander receiving the working fluid from the evaporator, and
• a radiator cooling the working fluid received from the expander.
