Abstract
A method and a system for limiting an engine torque of vehicles to a maximum value. In the method, signals representing wheel torques from wheel sensors at the drive train are acquired, the wheel torques, differentiated according to driving situations which can have a harmful influence on the transmission, differential or torque converter, then being checked for a wheel-torque value which is too high. If too high a value is found, the engine torque is limited or reduced.
