Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine is provided. The internal combustion engine has a compressor for adjusting a charge density in an intake pipe of the internal combustion engine and has an adjusting device, such as a variable valve gear, for adjusting a volumetric efficiency of the internal combustion engine. A dynamic setpoint quantity for the internal combustion engine is determined as a function of a difference between a load demand upon the internal combustion engine and a current load output of the internal combustion engine. The volumetric efficiency and the charge density are adjusted as a function of the dynamic setpoint quantity. An internal combustion engine and a vehicle are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for operating a drive assembly having a gasoline engine (1) and an exhaust gas cooling system. According to the method, combustion air fed through an inlet valve to a cylinder (3) of the gasoline engine (1) is compressed by an exhaust turbocharger (12) having a turbine (13) with variable turbine geometry. The inlet valve is closed before a piston in the cylinder (3) reaches bottom dead center. The exhaust gas fed to the turbine is cooled in a section of an exhaust gas line, in particular in the exhaust manifold.
