Abstract: A drive-train has an internal combustion engine (1) with an exhaust gas turbocharger, which drives a vehicle wheel (3) by way of a power-branching transmission (2). When there is an increase of the power demanded from the combustion engine (1) but the exhaust gas turbocharger is not yet producing the required charging pressure, an additional motor (4) is always switched into the drive-train in order to deliver torque to the drive-train.

Abstract: A vehicle drive-train with a drive engine, a drive output and a transmission device connected in the power flow between the drive engine and the drive output. The transmission device has at least two transmission units whose transmission ratios can be varied continuously, at least in some ranges, and which are arranged in power-trains running parallel with one another between the drive engine and the drive output. The power-trains can each be functionally connected with a respective axle of the drive output. At least one shifting element is provided by which the power-trains can be functionally connected in the area between the transmission units and the drivable axles. In addition, a method for operating the vehicle drive-train is described, in which the shifting element is actuated as a function of torque to be transmitted via the transmission device between the drive engine and the drive output.

Abstract: A method for the operation of a vehicle drive-train of a working machine having a drive motor, a transmission whose transmission ratio can be varied continuously, and a drive output. A rotational speed (nmot) of the drive motor can be varied by the driver, by the driver's actuation of a first control element (50), within a rotational speed range (53) delimited by an upper characteristic line (nmoto) and a lower characteristic line (nmotu). The characteristic lines (nmoto, nmotu) are functions of a reciprocal transmission ratio (irez) of the transmission. Furthermore, the rotational speed (nmot1) of the drive motor that can be set by the driver by way of the first control element (50), can be influenced by the driver's actuation of a second control element (51) and as a function of an operating condition of the working machine.

Abstract: A device for actuating a frictional converter lock-up clutch of a hydrodynamic torque converter. A piston of the lock-up clutch can be acted upon by pressure of a inner chamber of a converter that acts in the engaging direction of the lock-up clutch and by pressure of a piston chamber delimited by the piston that acts in the disengaging direction. At least in the disengaging operating condition of the lock-up clutch, the piston space is connected to the inner chamber of the converter. The inner chamber can be supplied with hydraulic fluid via a first line. Hydraulic fluid can be discharged from the inner chamber via a second line. The piston chamber of the lock-up clutch can be connected to a pressurized zone and to an essentially unpressurized zone. By varying the pressure in the piston chamber, the device can modulate the transmission capacity of the lock-up clutch.

Abstract: A vehicle has a drive train comprising a drive unit, a hydrostatic-mechanical power-split gear unit operatively connected to the drive unit and an output, and at least one braking device. An additional actuating device is allocated to the braking device and is operatively connected with a power request element and/or a driving direction selection element. Upon the presence of a deceleration of the vehicle requested by the driver through the power request element and/or the driving direction selection element and, the braking device is actuated to an extent that initiates a braking torque in the drive train. Upon the presence of a requested deceleration of the vehicle, a driving torque on the side of the drive unit is provided in the area of the output for a braking device that is not actuated by the driver. If the rotational speed of the drive unit exceeds a defined threshold of rotational speed, the braking device is operated to an extent that initiates a braking torque in the drive train.
