  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A DRIVE TRAIN AND DRIVE TRAIN
    Publication number: 20260048748
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a drive-train (12) of a motor vehicle (10) having at least one first drive motor (16), a second drive motor (18), and a transmission (20) for taking up the drive torques (M1, M2) of the first drive motor (16) and the second drive motor (18). The method includes determining a torque (MFW) desired by the driver, determining a shift position of at least one first shifting element (64) of the transmission (20), and calculating a nominal torque (MS) on the basis of the torque (MFW) desired by the driver, a drive torque (M1) of the first drive motor (16), and the shift position of the at least one first shifting element (64) of the transmission (20).
