The present invention relates to a method () for providing a storage capacity reserve in a traction battery () for an electrically driven motor vehicle (), preferably commercial vehicle, for an upcoming downhill drive. The method () comprises detecting (S) whether an electric charging operation of the traction battery () by means of an external charging source () is imminent, and determining (S) one or more possible downhill routes (G, G) for an imminent downhill drive after the electric charging operation. The method () further comprises predicting (S) one or more amounts of recuperated energy that will be recuperated by the motor vehicle () along each of the determined downhill routes (G, G), and determining (S) a maximum battery state of charge of the traction battery () for the charging operation using the external charging source () as a function of the predicted amounts of recuperated energy. The present invention further relates to an apparatus () for providing a storage capacity reserve in a traction battery () for an electrically driven motor vehicle (), preferably a commercial vehicle, for an upcoming downhill drive, and to an electrically driven motor vehicle (), preferably a commercial vehicle, comprising the apparatus ().

Method and device for providing a storage capacity reserve in a traction battery for imminent downhill drive

A method for performing open-loop or closed-loop control of a driver's cab mount of a motor vehicle, wherein the driver's cab mount has dampers whose damper force can be adjusted, wherein the motor vehicle can be operated in a first driving mode in which the motor vehicle automatically carries out vehicle guidance comprising both a longitudinal guidance operation and a transverse guidance operation of the motor vehicle, and in a second driving mode where the motor vehicle can be controlled by the driver, in which driving mode a driver of the motor vehicle is intended to carry out at least part of the vehicle guidance, wherein when the motor vehicle is operated in the first driving mode, the adjustable dampers of the driver's cab mount are actuated or adjusted in such a way that pitching or rolling movements are reduced compared to the second driving mode.
