Abstract
A method estimates a torque of a heat engine in a vehicle hybrid transmission including at least a heat engine and an electric machine together or separately supplying a heat engine torque and heat engine torque intended for wheels of the vehicle. The method uses a measurement of a speed of the heat engine, a value of the heat engine torque reference, and a value of the electric machine torque. The method also sums an estimate of a total torque supplied by the transmission to the wheels and of an estimate of an equivalent resistive torque of the transmission to determine the estimated heat engine torque.
