Abstract: An electric drive axle of a vehicle with a parking lock and with at least one electric drive with a drive gear of a drive shaft. The drive gear is coupled via at least one intermediate gear of an intermediate shaft to an output gear of a differential gear unit for driving at least one output shaft. For decoupling the electric drive, at least one claw shift element is associated with the drive shaft and/or with the intermediate shaft in such a way that the claw shift element is arranged upstream of the parking lock in power flow direction from electric drive to differential gear unit.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a claw coupling for interlockingly connecting a first rotatable component to a second rotatable component, wherein a sliding sleeve is non-rotatably and axially slidably arranged on the first rotatable component and a coupling body is non-rotatably arranged on the second rotatable component, the sliding sleeve being axially movable for interlocking connection to the coupling body in order to connect the first component to the second component, at least one spring-loaded shifting ring being movably mounted, non-rotatably and axially relative to the sliding sleeve, on the sliding sleeve, and a damping chamber, formed in dependence on the relative motion, is provided in order to delay the axial motion. The disclosure further relates to an electrical drive axle of a vehicle having at least the claw coupling. In addition, the disclosure relates to a method for interlockingly connecting the first rotatable component to the second rotatable component via a claw coupling.

Abstract: A method of controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle in which a hold gear function is activated by a driver request and deactivated depending on a return condition. The method comprises the step of (a) determining the return condition by a change in operating state, and (b) deactivating the hold gear function if a temporary operating state, for which the hold function is requested, ends and a change takes place between one of uphill driving and downhill driving and between driving one of up and down a hill and driving on a same plane.

Abstract: A method for controlling and/or regulating an automatic transmission of a vehicle, depending on the driving route slope in which a winding mountain pass road detection is carried out, depending upon a topography of the driving route, in such a way that a time for either setting or resetting winding mountain pass road detection is determined.

Abstract: A method of controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle in which a hold gear function is activated by a driver request and is deactivated depending on a return condition. To allow an effective, safe to operate, and comfortable use, the return condition depends on one of the following criteria or a useful combination of the same: a flexible time span, consideration of the vehicle stand still time; a rotational speed of the vehicle engine, or one or several parameters which correlate with the engine rotational speed, a new, the same, or a different drive request by the driver, a change in the operating condition of the vehicle, and a plausibility check occurring during the startup procedure.

Abstract: A method for controlling and/or regulating a multi-step automatic transmission of a vehicle in which an upshift is prevented if a power limit, of the motor of the vehicle, is reached such that, when a driving situation in which the power limit of the motor is reached and recognized, the motor speed (n) is set at a predetermined limit value (nLimit). In addition, a system for implementing the method according to the invention is also proposed.

Abstract: A method of controlling an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle that is situated in the force flow between a drive motor and an axle drive of a drive axle or a transfer box in which the current road inclination (?FB) is determined. To improve the shifting behavior of the transmission, during a transition between driving on a downhill stretch (2) and on level ground (4), after driving on the downhill stretch (2) and/or after the transition to a thrust operation, a recognition function for determining a downhill run-out (3) is initiated and, when the downhill run-out (3) is recognized, a shift to a higher gear during a thrust operation, i.e., a thrust upshift, is carried out before driving onto level ground (4) and/or before the transition to the traction operation.

Abstract: A method for the operation of an automatic transmission in a motor vehicle. The downshifting of the transmission takes advantage of a braking action of a driving motor connected to the automatic transmission through a clutch, are terminated by the closing of a clutch during a compression phase lasting until the achievement of a predetermined threshold speed. For the improvement of the immediacy of the vehicle drive after the termination of the compression phase, the invention provides that at speeds less than the threshold speed, downshifting is carried out and is terminated with an open clutch.
