Abstract: A motor vehicle having a drive train and a motor unit which can be coupled to the drive train, and at least one electric machine. A freewheel mode is activated to increase the energy efficiency so that the motor vehicle is neither powered nor decelerated by the motor unit, thus allowing the wheels of the motor vehicle to essentially roll freely. In the freewheel mode, the electric machine is operated as a motor which introduces a freewheel mode pull torque to the drive train.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling the hybrid drive of a motor vehicle having the following components: internal combustion engine (VKM), manual transmission (SG), at least one electrical machine (Emi), at least one clutch (Kj) and an energy storage device (ES), and at least one driven axle (HA; VA) are intended to provide maximum efficiency and service life of the components.

The display and/or operating unit is adapted to be detachably connected to a fluidic control device in such a relative position to the latter that the inductive interface is coupled to a corresponding interface of the control device. Encoded signals can be transmitted via the inductive interfaces, the signals containing both information and energy from the control device to the display and/or operating unit for operating the latter.
