Abstract
A method for operating a vehicle comprises operating an electric machine and an internal combustion engine as the drive units, by which a total power is generated in synchronous operation for the driving of the vehicle, wherein one portion of the power of the electric machine and one portion of the power of the internal combustion engine is set in dependence on the temperature of at least one of the drive units in the total power for the driving of the vehicle.
Claims5
A method for operating a vehicle, comprising:
- operating an electric machine and an internal combustion engine as drive units, by which a total power is generated in synchronous operation for the driving of the vehicle, wherein one portion of the power of the electric machine and one portion of the power of the internal combustion engine is set in dependence on the temperature of at least one of the drive units in the total power for the driving of the vehicle.
A system for operating a vehicle, comprising:
- an electric machine and an internal combustion engine as drive units, which are adapted to generating a total power in synchronous operation for the driving of the vehicle, wherein the system comprises at least one thermometer and a controller, and the at least one thermometer is adapted to measure a temperature of at least one drive unit, while the controller is adapted to set one portion of the power of the electric machine and one portion of the power of the internal combustion engine in dependence on the temperature of at least one of the drive units in the total power for the driving of the vehicle.
