A drive arrangement for motorized adjustment of a cargo-space-tailgate arrangement of a motor vehicle the cargo-space-tailgate arrangement including a cargo-space tailgate adjustable between an open position and a closed position, the drive arrangement includes an electric drive, for providing a drive force, and a control arrangement for activating the electric drive. The drive arrangement includes an output element and a drive coupling. The output element transmits the drive force to the drive coupling for motorized adjustment of the cargo-space tailgate. The control arrangement activates the drive in an adjustment routine for motorized adjustment of the cargo-space tailgate to assist an actuation action introduced manually the cargo-space tailgate, and the control arrangement activates the adjustment routine based on an activation preset that is dependent on at least one friction parameter of the drive.

Drive arrangement for motorized adjustment of a cargo-space-tailgate arrangement of a motor vehicle

A drive device for adjusting a vehicle assembly an electromotive adjustment drive for adjusting the vehicle assembly and a control device for controlling the adjustment drive the control device actuates the adjustment drive in an automatic mode for adjusting the vehicle assembly with a predetermined rotational speed and in a servo mode for providing a supporting force during a manual adjustment of the vehicle assembly by a user. The control device includes a speed regulation module for determining a first setpoint current value in dependence on a rotational speed of the adjustment drive, a servo regulation module for determining a second setpoint current value in dependence on a load acting on the vehicle assembly and a current regulation module for regulating a current of the adjustment drive.

Drive device for adjusting a vehicle assembly

A method for operating a tailgate of a motor vehicle, in particular a pickup, which is driven by means of an electric motor and delimits a cargo area. A disassembled state is detected, and energization of the electric motor is inhibited. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle.

Method for operating a tailgate of a motor vehicle

A drive arrangement for adjusting a flap of a motor vehicle about a body including a motor, a drivetrain, and a freewheel mechanism. The drivetrain is disposed between the motor and the flap. The freewheel mechanism provided with a drive component including a transmitting element, and a driven component provided with a receiving element coupled to the transmitting element. During motoric movement of the flap between the closed and the open position over at least a portion of the pivot angle, the motor actuates the drive component and displaces the transmitting element, from a neutral position, conjointly with the receiving element along a displacement path.

Flap arrangement with a flap for a motor vehicle

A drive arrangement configured to pivot a tailgate pivotally coupled to a vehicle body, between an open position and a closed position and including a freewheel mechanism, a drive shaft, and a motor. The freewheel mechanism may be rotatably coupled to the vehicle body and defining an opening provided with an inner periphery that includes a first cam element and a second cam element. The drive shaft may be fixed to the vehicle body and extending into the opening. The drive shaft may define an outer periphery that includes a third cam element and a fourth cam element. A motor may be coupled to the freewheel mechanism and may be configured to rotate the freewheel mechanism so that the first cam element engages the third cam element to pivot the tailgate from the closed position towards the open position.
