Abstract
A method for regulating and/or controlling an engine-transmission unit in a motor vehicle includes prioritizing torque demands to obtain an only torque value, storing the only torque value as a current successful situation and retaining the torque value for the previous successful situation, and processing the torque value of the current successful situation as well as the torque value of the previous successful situation to comparable torque values in each case required for the implementation of the demands. The method farther includes changing a desired torque demand at driving wheels of the motor vehicle from the torque value of the previous successful situation to the torque value of the current successful situation in the event of a priority change when the current successful situation is different from the previous successful situation, sending the desired torque demand to an electronic controller, and carrying out the desired torque demand by controlling at least one of engine parameters and a ratio of a transmission unit.
