  • Patent number: 8960168
    Abstract: An arrangement for cooling of recirculating exhaust gases of a combustion engine (2) in a vehicle (1). The arrangement comprises a first EGR cooler (14), a driving means (15, 31) adapted to driving air through the first EGR cooler (14) in order to cool the exhaust gases in a return line (11) which are subjected to a first step of cooling in the first EGR cooler (14), and at least one second EGR cooler (19, 20) in which the exhaust gases in the return line (11) are intended to undergo a second step of cooling. The arrangement comprises an air line (16) which extends at least from the first EGR cooler (14) to the exhaust pipe (4) at a location between the turbine (5) and the exhaust-treating component (18a, 18b), which air line (16) is adapted to leading warm air from the first EGR cooler (14) into the exhaust line (4) at said location.

  • Patent number: 8655562
    Abstract: A method for setting a vehicle in motion: The vehicle includes a combustion engine for generating driving force for transmission to at least one powered wheel via a clutch and a gearbox. The driving force is selectively transmitted from the engine to the powered wheels by closure of the clutch. Gear changes by the gearbox are at least partly controlled by a control system. With the clutch closed and upon demand for the vehicle to be set in motion with the clutch closed, the control system activates the vehicle's starter motor with gear engaged, and uses the starter motor to accelerate the combustion engine to an initial speed which represents a speed at which the combustion engine will start.
