Abstract
A vehicle and a vehicle gear shift system (1) comprising:—an energy source (20);—an energy storage element (30), and—a longitudinal energy transfer element (50, 150) configured to interconnect the gear shift element (10) and the energy storage element (30); wherein the energy source (20) is configured to load or charge the energy storage element (30) with potential energy via a movement of the energy transfer element (50) in its longitudinal direction with regards to the energy storage element.
Claims12
A vehicle gear shift system (1) configured to move a gear shift element (10, 110) in a multispeed gear system, wherein the gear shift system (1) comprises:
- an energy source (20);
- an energy storage element (30), and
- a longitudinal energy transfer element (50, 150) configured to interconnect the gear shift element (10) and the energy storage element (30);
- wherein the energy source (20) is configured to load or charge the energy storage element (30) with potential energy via a movement of the energy transfer element (50) in its longitudinal direction with regards to the energy storage element.
A method for shifting gear of a vehicle comprising
- a multispeed gear system,
- a vehicle gear shift system comprising a movable shift element configured to shift gears in the multispeed gear system,
- an energy source, and
- an energy storage element configured to move the shift element, and
- a longitudinal energy transfer element (50) configured to interconnect the gear shift element (10) and the energy storage element (30);
- wherein the method comprises;
- initiating energy delivery from the energy source to the energy storage element at a start time T0 and to end energy delivery a pre-defined timespan TS1 after the start time.
