Abstract: A motor vehicle drive arrangement including a motor and a stepless automatic transmission for driving drive wheels has a normal operating mode for normal driving operation and a brake engagement operating mode for a situation of excessive slip of a drive wheel. During the brake engagement operating mode, strong fluctuations of the transmission ratio could arise, or the vehicle might drive with a low motor torque but a high drive rotational speed, which are uncomfortable for the driver. To increase driving comfort, a normal motor torque value is prescribed in the normal operating mode, and in the brake engagement operating mode the motor torque is reduced to an actual motor torque value. A difference torque is determined between the normal and actual motor torque values. A maximum desired nominal drive rotational speed is varied dependent on the difference torque.

Abstract: A drive arrangement of a motor vehicle, which comprises a motor and a stepless automatic transmission for the driving of drive wheels, is typically operated in a normal operating mode in connection with normal driving operation and in a brake engagement operating mode in connection with a slip of at least one of the drive wheels that exceeds a certain value. During the brake engagement operating mode, strong fluctuations of the transmission's transmission ratio can arise, or the case can arise, that the motor vehicle drives with a low motor torque but a high drive rotational speed. This is perceived as uncomfortable by the driver. The new method shall increase the driving comfort.
