An inverter assembly for a vehicle includes a housing, a first inverter, and a second inverter. The housing comprises a plurality of walls. The plurality of walls form an inlet for cooling fluid to enter the housing, an outlet for the cooling fluid to exit the housing, and a channel, and a channel for the cooling fluid to flow therebetween. The first inverter is disposed within the housing proximate the channel, and is configured to be cooled by the cooling fluid flowing through the channel. The second inverter is also disposed within the housing proximate the channel, and is also configured to be cooled by the cooling fluid flowing through the channel.

A carrier assembly for a compressed gas storage tank includes a first yoke defining a first concavity, and a second yoke defining a second concavity. The first and second concavities are sufficiently aligned such that a tank is at least partially containable within both the first and second concavities. In an exemplary embodiment, the first yoke also defines a third concavity and the second yoke defines a fourth concavity; the third and fourth concavities are sufficiently aligned such that another tank is at least partially containable therein. Preferably, at least one flexible strap retains the tanks with respect to the yokes.

A heat sink is provided for that eliminates inefficient coolant bypass channels. The heat sink comprises a coolant cavity that is defined by a cover and a body portion. The thermally conductive cover includes a first plurality of substantially uniformly dispersed pin fins that extend at an angle from the inside surface of the cover towards a section of the body portion that is opposite the cover. The body portion opposite the cover includes a second plurality of pin fins that extend in the opposite direction from the first plurality. The coolant cavity also includes thermal bosses that protrude from an inside surface of the body portion. The bosses run parallel to the first and second plurality of pin fins and extend from a point near the thermally conductive cover to the section of the thermally conductive body portion that is opposite to the thermally conductive cover.

An electromagnetic interference reduction assembly for a transmission is disclosed. A transmission casing includes a base and walls extending outwardly away from the base to a distal edge. The transmission casing defines a first cavity between the walls and includes a platform disposed between the walls. A power inverter module is disposed in the first cavity and supported by the platform when in the first cavity. The power inverter module generates electrical noise during operation which produces electromagnetic interference. A lid is attached to the distal edge of the walls to contain the power inverter module inside the first cavity. A grounding member engages the power inverter module and the lid when the lid is attached to the transmission casing to electrically connect the power inverter module to the lid to reduce the electrical noise exiting the first cavity which reduces the electromagnetic interference exiting the first cavity.
