Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to operation of a motor vehicle including a first motor configured as an internal combustion engine and a second motor configured as an electric motor. The first motor comprises a combustion chamber, an ignition source and a prechamber that is coupled fluidically to the combustion chamber and into which a portion of the ignition source is introduced. The first motor can be operated by ignition of a fuel/air mixture in the prechamber interior by the ignition source. By way of a control device, the first motor is activated in a manner dependent on a load requirement, and is operated by ignition of the fuel/air mixture in the prechamber interior by the at least one ignition source only when it is operated exclusively in a stable combustion state as a result.
