A method for controlling a vehicle including a continuously variable transmission includes determining, by a controller, whether a speed difference between a speed of a vehicle according to revolutions per minute (RPM) of a driving wheel of the vehicle and a speed of the vehicle according to revolutions per minute (RPM) of a towed wheel of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a speed reference value and reducing, by the controller, torque of an engine providing a driving force to a driving pulley of the continuously variable transmission when the difference in vehicle speed is equal to or greater than the speed reference value.

An internal combustion engine operates so that it delivers zero or negative torque. The engine operates in either a deceleration cylinder cut off (DCCO) mode or skip cylinder compression braking mode. In the skip cylinder compression braking mode, selected working cycles of selected working chambers are operated in a compression release braking mode. Accordingly, individual working chambers are sometimes not fired and sometimes operated in the compression release braking mode while the engine is operating in the skip cylinder compression braking mode.

A system and method for dynamically controlling an aggregate load on a generator is described. Fuel change data for a gaseous fuel for the generator is identified. The fuel change data indicates a change in fuel type for the generator. A controller identifies at least one load portion from the aggregate load associated with the change in fuel type and generates a switch command for a switch coupled to the at least one load in response to the change in fuel type.

A method (100) is proposed for operating an internal combustion engine (210), which comprises a lean-burn engine having compression-ignition, having a throttle valve (213) in an air path (212) upstream of the internal combustion engine (210) and an exhaust gas posttreatment system (202) downstream of the internal combustion engine (210), comprising a control of the internal combustion engine (210) according to a present load demand (130) using metering of an amount of fuel in dependence on the present load demand; and if a load demand (130) is absent in a heating operating mode, further comprising partially closing (140) the throttle valve (213) and defining a minimum value for the amount of fuel, which is greater than zero. Furthermore, a computing unit and a computer program for carrying out such a method (100) are proposed.

Disclosed is a method for optimizing the time gradient of the pressure increase in a fuel injection system of a hybrid motor vehicle. The method determines and uses the engine torque generated by the electric machine of the vehicle to reduce the engine torque generated by the internal combustion engine of the vehicle and allow the high-pressure pump of the internal combustion engine to generate, if applicable, a higher value of the time gradient of the pressure increase in the common supply chamber of its injection system.
