摘要

In a process for controlling the torque of an internal combustion engine, an automatic gear system driven by the internal combustion engine has a gear control device (1) and the internal combustion engine has a control device which controls an ignition angle of an ignition system and/or an injection pulse width of a fuel injection system on the basis of revolution speed, load and, where appropriate, temperature signals. The gear control device (1) controls the gear changes in the automatic system on the basis of revolution speed and load requirements signals. In order to improve the control of the entire drive unit for the purpose of reducing fuel consumption and smooth gear changes, computer systems of the gear control device (1) and the control (2) of the internal combustion engine are permanently interconnected so as to intercommunicate via interfaces (3), whereby a percentage torque requirement (PLF) is taken to the control device (2) of the internal combustion engine in a cyclic time beat on the basis of which the control device (2) automatically affects the torque of the internal combustion engine.
