Abstract

Provided is a method for propulsion of a vehicle, said vehicle comprising at least one power source for providing power to at least one drive wheel of said vehicle. The method includes, when said vehicle is to be driven along a first path: determining a torque profile for use in controlling said first power source when driving said vehicle along at least a first segment of said first path; determining said torque profile on the basis of an estimated representation of a demand for torque when driving said vehicle along said first segment; when determining said torque profile, reducing variations in torque delivered by said power source by allowing increased variations in speed of said vehicle; and when said vehicle is driven along said first segment of said first path, controlling torque delivered by said at least one power source according to said determined torque profile.
