A method for optimised launch of a vehicle is provided wherein a driveline of the vehicle at least includes an engine, an automatic transmission, a system for exhaust gas recirculation, which are controlled by a driveline management system, wherein the management system is able to determine the mass of the vehicle, and whereby a launching, gear of the transmission is calculated dependent at least on the determined mass of the vehicle, whereby a launching gear is chosen dependent of the power loss caused by the EGR and wherein the power loss caused by the EGR is determined, the available power to launch the vehicle is determined, and the launching gear is recalculated dependent of the available power, and selecting said recalculated launching gear before launch of the vehicle, launch the vehicle with the recalculated launching gear.
Method for optimised launch of a vehicle, wherein a driveline of the vehicle at least comprises an engine, an automatic transmission, a system for exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), which are controlled by a driveline management system (MS), wherein the management system is able to determine the mass (m) of the vehicle, and whereby a launching gear of the transmission is calculated dependent at least on the determined mass (m) of the vehicle, comprising choosing a launching gear dependent on power loss caused by the EGR including
