Abstract
An engine system providing exceptional fuel efficiency is one that has two powerplants coupled by an electrically-actuated clutch. Packaging the two powerplants, the clutch, and the engine accessories presents a challenge. By driving the accessories via a shaft associated with the clutch, the accessories can be mounted between the two engines. Furthermore, this may facilitate providing one of each accessory rather than one per engine. The housing of the clutch is provided with tabs extending outwardly on which the accessories and associated components, such as mounting plates, mounting brackets, shafts, idler pulleys, tensioners, and pulleys, are mounted.
