Abstract
Optimum fuel consumption in an internal combustion engine driving a hydrostatic transmission having a continuously variable gear ratio is achieved by first applying the signal derived from the gas pedal directly to the transmission ratio regulator and, secondly, by controlling the fuel consumption of the engine in response to the gas pedal signal as follows: first, the signal from the gas pedal is multiplied by a signal signifying the output speed of the transmission. The so-formed desired power signal is applied to a storage which furnishes a desired engine speed signal in response thereto. The desired speed signal is compared to the actual engine speed and the resulting error signal, after amplification and integration, is applied to a unit controlling the fuel supply of the engine.
