Abstract: A device for controlling an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle, in particular, an electrified hybrid vehicle with a traction electric machine. The internal combustion engine has multiple cylinders, each of which is equipped with at least one outlet valve which can be switched to two stages. An electronic control unit controls: i) suppression of each of a plurality of cylinders of the internal combustion engine for at least one work cycle, wherein the outlet valves are kept closed, ii) actuation of the outlet valves and the inlet valves of the cylinders of the internal combustion engine in a synchronized manner, and iii) after the suppression process has ended, opening of the outlet valve at least in the first cylinder when the inlet valve is closed, and the enclosed gas is pushed out without being injected and ignited.

Abstract: A system for fixing the loading floor in a motor vehicle, including a loading floor support and at least one loading floor. The loading floor support includes at least one latching element, and the loading floor has at least one molded element which is adapted to latch onto the at least one latching element of the loading floor support. The system is adapted, based on the latching, to lock the loading floor on the loading floor support.

Abstract: A control unit for a motor vehicle which includes at least one electric machine for driving one or more wheels of the vehicle and at least one friction brake is provided. The control unit is configured to determine that a one-pedal feel function is to be provided via an acceleration pedal of the vehicle and/or a creep function is to be provided via a brake pedal of the vehicle. Additionally, the control unit is configured to operate the electric machine at least temporarily in combination with the friction brake in order to provide the one-pedal feel function and/or the creep function.

Abstract: A control device for operating a road-coupled all-wheel drive vehicle, includes at least one electronic control unit, at least one first electric drive motor as a primary motor assigned to a primary axle and at least one second electric drive motor as a secondary motor assigned to a secondary axle. The control unit has a torque-limiting module which, if an expected change of the all-wheel drive factor is detected which can lead to a transition from single-axle operation to dual-axle operation on the basis of a defined signal that runs ahead the filtered driver's request signal, the torque limits for the individual target torques of the electric drive motors can be preset in a sudden manner according to the predetermined changed all-wheel drive factor before the individual target torques per se are set.

Abstract: A system and method for speed/traction/slip control influences a driving engine torque of the vehicle. The method includes: calculating an idealized nominal engine torque from a linear control law applied to the speed/slip error; calculating an idealized setpoint for the speed/slip by applying a reference model to the idealized nominal engine torque; calculating a linearizing feedback with properties of compensating the nonlinearities in the road surface contact, compensating the inertia in the powertrain, and damping the powertrain; using for feedback the engine rotational speed, numerically determined derivation of engine speed, average speed of the driven axis, numerically determined derivative of the rotational speed of the driven axis, actual engine torque, and applying the driving engine torque to the engine vehicle to influence the traction and stability of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle dynamics control system in a motor vehicle includes an electronic vehicle dynamics control unit which is connected to at least one drive control unit and is configured so as to: determine at least one setpoint slip or a setpoint slip corridor and an actual vehicle speed as a reference speed, and transmit the at least one setpoint slip or the setpoint slip corridor together with the reference speed to the at least one drive control unit.
