Abstract: A method is provided for controlling an air conditioning compressor in a hybrid powertrain of a motor vehicle. The hybrid powertrain includes an internal combustion engine, a first electric machine, and a second electric machine The electric machines and the internal combustion engine are selectively connected to the air conditioning compressor so as to function as a drive of the air conditioning compressor. At least one of the first electric machine, the second electric machine, or the internal combustion engine is selected as the drive is selected based on a selection by an occupant of the motor vehicle. The selected drive is actuated to drive the air conditioning compressor.

Abstract: A dual clutch and a method for controlling the same in a drive train of a motor vehicle which has two friction clutches that transmit a torque from an internal combustion engine to respective transmission input shafts of a dual clutch transmission and which have a common counterpressure plate firmly connected to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and two contact plates that are fixed in terms of rotation relative to the counterpressure plate and can be moved axially by respective lever springs supported on a housing part firmly connected to the counterpressure plate. To limit the axial installation space for the dual clutch, the lever springs for actuating the friction clutches are actuated radially on the inside in the same direction by respective actuating systems in the case of a change from one friction clutch to the other of a torque to be transmitted via the friction clutches.
