<p>Drive means for motor vehicles, comprising an internal combustion engine (1) and an automated multi-stage gearbox (9). Shifting is effected by means of compressed-air cylinders which are controlled by a control computer (45) which is programmed so as, in the event of input signals indicating vehicle speed and zero throttle, to put the currently engaged gear in the neutral position, and so as, in the event of an input signal indicating throttle, first to speed-control the engine to a speed which makes possible engagement of the gear, and then to give a signal to engage the gear. The engine is coupled to an electric machine (50) which is controlled by the control computer in such a manner that, in the event of the engine stopping with the freewheel function activated, the electric machine first controls th engine to a speed which makes possible engagement of a gear, and then gives a signal to engage the gear.</p> |
