A method for determining and controlling engine speeds of a work vehicle during gear shifts may include controlling an operation of an engine and/or a transmission of a work vehicle so as to maintain the work vehicle operating at a requested speed, and determining a measured gear ratio for the transmission as a gear shift is occurring from a first gear ratio to a second gear ratio. The method may also include calculating a desired engine speed during the gear shift as a function of the requested speed and either the measured gear ratio or the second gear ratio. In addition, when the measured gear ratio differs from the first gear ratio by a predetermined threshold amount, the method may include controlling the engine speed based on the desired engine speed for a remainder of the gear shift from the first gear ratio to the second gear ratio.

A method for performing a cold start in a vehicle having a power-spat transmission with a hydrostatic element comprising hydrostatic units. Several cold-start steps are performed sequentially for a cold start, the length of at least one of the cold-start steps is adapted depending on a temperature representing the start temperature of the power-split transmission. A state of the power-split transmission deviating from the temperature of the power-split transmission is monitored, during the execution of at least one of the cold-start steps, and, depending on this state, a transition from the respective cold-start steps to the subsequent cold-start step is performed, thus adapting the length of time of the respective cold-start steps.

A shift control device for a vehicle includes: an engine; a shift mechanism disposed between the engine and driving wheels; a shift control section configured to control a transmission gear ratio of the shift mechanism; and a fuel cut control section configured to stop a fuel supply to the engine, at least when an accelerator pedal is in a release state, and when an engine speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined rotation speed, the shift control section being configured to perform a minimum rotation speed restriction control to control the transmission gear ratio of the shift mechanism so that the minimum rotation speed of the engine is equal to or greater than the predetermined rotation speed regardless of a vehicle front condition and an accelerator operation condition.

A motor vehicle includes an engine having, in an exhaust system thereof, a particulate matter removal filter that removes particulate matters, a shift device capable of performing a sequential shift operation, and an electronic control unit that controls the engine such that the motor vehicle runs in accordance with a driver's operation. The electronic control unit is configured to perform control in such a manner as to cause the vehicle to run without carrying out a shift even when the sequential shift operation is performed by the driver, if a deposition amount of particulate matters deposited in the particulate matter removal filter is equal to or larger than a predetermined amount. Thus, the particulate matter removal filter can be restrained from being overheated through the supply of a large amount of air to the particulate matter removal filter with the predetermined amount or more of particulate matters deposited therein.

A method for heating a transmission (3) with a torque converter (11), is disclosed. By the selective actuation of clutches (K1, K2, K3, KR, KV) various gears (R1, R2, R3, V1, V2, V3) can be engaged, so that the transmission (3) is blocked on the drive output side, whereby a turbine shaft (12) of the torque converter (11) is immobilized while a drive power is introduced into the transmission (3) by a drive element (2) Blocking the transmission is brought about by actuating the clutches (K1, K2, K3, KR, KV) in such manner that two gears (R1, R2, R3, V1, V2, V3) different from one another in the same driving direction are engaged at the same time.

A method for regulation of a concentration/fraction of one or several substances comprised in an exhaust system in a motor vehicle through control of its driveline: The driveline includes a combustion engine which may be connected to a gearbox via a clutch device, wherein the gearbox has several discrete gears, and an exhaust system for removal of an exhaust stream from the combustion engine; the method includes obtaining one or several first parameters P.sub.1 related to at least one first concentration/fraction C.sub.1/X.sub.1 of one or several substances comprised in the exhaust system; and controlling the gearbox, and thus an operating point in the combustion engine, based on the parameters P.sub.1 for regulation of a concentration/fraction C.sub.Ex/X.sub.Ex of one or several substances in the said exhaust system. Further, a computer program, a computer program product, a system and a motor vehicle comprising such a system are disclosed.

Provided herein is a vehicle including: an engine; a continuously variable planetary (CVP) operably coupled to the engine; a cooling system in fluid communication with the engine and the CVP, the cooling system comprising a control valve and a working fluid; and a control system including a controller configured to control the CVP and the control valve and a working fluid temperature sensor, wherein the controller commands a change in the CVP ratio based on the working fluid temperature.

A shift strategy is provided for a hybrid electric vehicle to cause a speed of a motor to approach a target motor speed to increase fuel economy for an engine operating in a hybrid drive mode. A controller shifts the transmission according to a magnitude of a driver torque demand, the current rotor or impeller speed, and whether the motor is consuming or producing current. The controller shifts the transmission according to one shift schedule when the motor is motoring, and according to another shift schedule when the motor is generating power.

A system includes a powertrain system including a transmission, and a controller coupled to the powertrain system. The controller is structured to: receive operation data regarding operation of the powertrain system; determine the powertrain system is operating in a non-nominal state responsive to the operation data; adjust a shift schedule for the transmission based on the determined non-nominal state; and control the transmission based on the adjusted shift schedule.

A system for a vehicle includes a powertrain system including an engine, a transmission, a drive shaft, and a final drive; and a controller communicably coupled to the powertrain system. The controller is structured to: receive a shift schedule for the transmission of a vehicle, the shift schedule indicating when shift events occur based on operation of the vehicle; receive vehicle operation data during operation of the vehicle, the vehicle operation data including a current combustion recipe for the engine; determine a predicted impact of a scheduled shift event on a fuel consumption rate of the vehicle based on the current combustion recipe for the engine; determine an adjustment to the scheduled shift event based on the predicted impact; and provide a command to implement the adjustment to the scheduled shift event to the transmission of the vehicle.
