Abstract: A method for noise reduction in a motor vehicle that has a hybrid drive and includes an internal combustion engine and at least two electric machines including a first electric machine on a front axle of the motor vehicle and a second electric machine on a rear axle of the motor vehicle. The method includes automatically cutting in the at least two electric machines as a function of a required drive torque and an expected noise emission associated with the required drive torque, in a case of sole operation of the internal combustion engine, so as to reduce the load of the internal combustion engine. Torque distribution is carried out variably between the front axle and rear axle of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A drive system includes at least two drive devices, at least one of which is electric, that drive at least two drive axles, a power electronics system, an energy storage arrangement, and a control device. The control device includes a drive control module for providing a recuperation limiting value for each electric drive, a recuperation control module for combining the recuperation limiting values to form a maximum recuperation total limiting value, and a brake control module for providing a total braking torque requested by a driver or assistance system, such that it derives a recuperation total torque that is less than the recuperation total limiting value and also derives recuperation partial torques for each electric drive. In the case of a total braking torque that is greater than the recuperation total limiting value, the brake control module generates a hydraulic brake pressure and transmits it to the brake system.

Abstract: An operating method for a hybrid vehicle having an electric motor and an internal combustion engine, in which driving, in particular a start of a journey, occurs in a purely electric-motor mode if a velocity (vF) drops below a predefined limiting value, a temperature (TB) of a vehicle battery drops below a predefined limiting value, a driver's request torque (MF)/activation of an accelerator pedal drops below a predefined limiting value, and a state of charge (SOC) of the vehicle battery exceeds a predefined limiting value, to allow for starting situations in residential areas or underground parking garage.

Abstract: Motor vehicle (2) and associated electronic control device (4) for controlling an internal combustion engine (6) and at least one electrical machine (8). Torque losses of the electrical machine (8) are taken into account with the aid of families of characteristics and algorithms, and torques are predetermined for the electrical machine (8) independently of the operating state of the entire drive train (10) of the motor vehicle (2).
