  • Slip control method and arrangement for a driveline
    Patent number: 10919534
    Abstract: A slip control method and arrangement for a driveline is described herein. The driveline includes a clutch that is so controlled as to slip when a torque higher than the usable torque attempts to pass through. Accordingly, the clutch prevents the prime mover from stalling.
