Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 17:
18. The system of claim 12, wherein the controller executes instructions to:
determine a vehicle weight;
determine a grade of the portion of the route; and
calculate, based on the vehicle weight and the grade of the portion of the route, one or more of:
a predicted change in the SOC of the battery system when the e-axle is in the down position and the motor/generator is operating as a motor to convert electrical power to rotational power;
a predicted change in temperature of the battery system when the e-axle is in the down position and the motor/generator is operating as a generator to convert rotational power to electrical power;
a predicted change in temperature of the battery system when the e-axle is in the down position and the motor/generator is operating as a motor to convert electrical power to rotational power; and
a predicted change in temperature of the battery system when the e-axle is in the up position and the motor/generator is operating as a generator to convert rotational power from the engine to electrical power.
