wherein the drive line couples the prime mover to a motive wheel of the vehicle;
a transmission interposed between the prime mover and the motive wheel, the transmission having a plurality of gears of varying ratios;
a clutch interposed between the prime mover and the transmission, the clutch having a first position that rotationally couples an input shaft of the transmission to the prime mover, and a second position that decouples the input shaft of the transmission from the prime mover;
the motor/generator at least selectively coupled to one of an input shaft or a countershaft of the transmission, wherein the countershaft selectively couples the input shaft to at least one of a main shaft or an output shaft, thereby implementing a selected gear ratio; and
a means for bringing the prime mover above an idle speed without fueling the prime mover, and using only a single clutch actuation during an upshift event.
