To allow a rider to sense torque in a low-speed traveling mode, a control device has a forward-and-reverse clutch oil pressure controller. In a low-speed traveling mode, the forward-and-reverse clutch oil pressure controller performs hunting control on driving torque, which is transmitted to a rear wheel from a crankshaft of an engine through a clutch device, a transmission, and a drive shaft, if vehicle speed stays within a second vehicle speed range for a predetermined time.

The disclosure relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle that includes a drive unit, an output unit, and a clutch arranged between the drive unit and the output unit and configured to transmit a torque. A detection unit detects an operating state of the drive unit. When the operating state of the drive unit is in an overrun mode, a control unit controls a clutch slip, which results in adjustment of the torque that can be transmitted as a function of a speed of the motor vehicle. The disclosure further relates to a device for operating a motor vehicle, and to a motor vehicle that includes such a device.

The present disclosure relates to a technique for improving durability of a clutch and shifting stability. The present disclosure provides a method of controlling a clutch of an automated manual transmission (AMT) vehicle, which reduces a micro-slip control time in order to improve durability of the clutch by performing a full-lock control of the clutch after slip control for learning a clutch characteristic curve. Additionally, the method shortens time to open the clutch for a subsequent shifting by predicting the time when a shift restarts after the full-lock control and by resuming the micro-slip control.

A powertrain including a prime mover and an electronically controllable clutch. The powertrain structured selectably engages the clutch to provide power from the prime mover to drive one or more ground contacting wheels and to selectably disengage the clutch to decouple with one or more ground contacting wheels. The electronic control system operatively communicates with the prime mover and the electronically controllable clutch, and uses a predictive cruise control (PCC) controller and an idle coast management (ICM) controller, to control vehicle speed during concurrent operation of the PCC controller and the ICM controller.

A method of reducing rollback of a electric vehicle, including determining a position baseline of the electric vehicle; determining a position compensated speed of the electric vehicle based on the position baseline; determining a hold torque as a function of the position compensated speed; and generating a command to apply the hold torque to the motor-generator of the electric vehicle.
