US Patent 10479187 Integrated hybrid power system for work vehicle

An integrated hybrid power system for a work vehicle includes an engine and an electric machine. The power system also includes a transmission configured to transfer mechanical power between the engine and the electric machine. The transmission, in a first configuration, is configured to transfer mechanical power in a first direction from the electric machine to the engine to start the engine. Furthermore, the transmission, in a second configuration, is configured to transfer mechanical power in the first direction and, alternatively, in a second direction from the engine to the electric machine after the engine is started.
