Abstract: A powertrain for a hybrid vehicle includes a first propulsion unit for powering the vehicle, a second propulsion unit for powering the vehicle, a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), and the second propulsion unit the ECU is programmed to control the gear shift such that when a gear shift of the first propulsion unit is made in order to change the overall gear ratio from the first input shaft to the output shaft by changing the double clutch engagement from the second clutch, engaging the second power path, to the first clutch, engaging the first power path, the power connection between the second propulsion unit and the second power path is maintained.

Abstract: A method is provided for propelling a vehicle having a power-train including a primary power source accompanied with a primary power torque curve and a secondary power source accompanied with a secondary power torque curve, the primary power source being adapted to deliver a maximum torque output in relation to rotational speed according to the primary power torque curve and the secondary power source being adapted to deliver a maximum torque output in relation to rotational speed according to the secondary power torque curve, the vehicle being adapted to be propelled by either one of the primary power source and the secondary power source or by both together, the powertrain further including a powertrain limit curve which is adapted to where applicable to restrict a current driver demand from a driver of the vehicle in relation to the primary power torque curve and the secondary power torque curve when propelling the vehicle.

Abstract: A hybrid vehicle and a method for operating a hybrid vehicle are provided, the vehicle including at least a first drive unit and a second drive unit coupled to the first drive unit, wherein the second driving unit recovers kinetic energy during braking the hybrid vehicle, a transmission unit which can be coupled to the first and/or second drive unit and a drive axle. It is proposed to change the transmission ratio of the transmission unit depending on a desired amount of energy recovered by the second drive unit during regenerative braking or a predetermined time period before the anticipated start of regenerative braking.
