  • Apparatus for Actuating a Motor Vehicle Transmission
    Publication number: 20080194368
    Abstract: In a device with a unit for actuating a motor vehicle transmission superimposes a first torque of a first drive assembly with at least one second torque of a second drive assembly, the unit modifies the first torque and the second torque in order to fulfill a propulsion request of an operator. According to the invention, the unit also regulates the rotational speed of the second drive assembly during a modification of the first torque.
