HYBRID POWERTRAIN AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A HYBRID POWERTRAIN

摘要

There is provided a hybrid powertrain (300) including:
€¢ a combustion engine (310);
€¢ an electric machine arrangement (360);
€¢ a gearbox (500) operable to receive motive power from at least one of the combustion engine (310) and the electric machine arrangement (360) for providing motive power to a load (530) of the powertrain (300); and
€¢ the powertrain (300) is configurable in operation so that its combustion engine (310) is switchable between an inactive state and an active state, the combustion engine (310) requiring to be cranked to switch it from its inactive state to its active state.
Application of cranking torque to the combustion engine (310) is controlled in operation to substantially temporally coincide with a gear change in the gearbox (500).
