Method and arrangement for controlling the power-split of a hybrid electric vehicle

摘要

A method for maximising the utilizable torque output capacity of a hybrid electric vehicle 10 is disclosed. The method includes controlling operation of an engine 511 of the hybrid electric vehicle 10 such that when an overpower condition is detected in which the torque output of the engine 511 is surpassing the maximum torque output of an electrical generator 532, the engine 511 is controlled to a torque output that is less than the maximum torque output of the generator 532.
