Abstract
A method for reducing a driving power of a vehicle drive includes detecting a temperature difference between a temperature of at least one component of the vehicle drive and a temperature threshold value, detecting an instantaneous driving state of the vehicle drive, establishing whether or not the instantaneous driving state allows for a reduction in the driving power of the vehicle drive, and reducing the driving power of the vehicle drive for lowering the temperature of the at least one component in order to increase the temperature difference if the instantaneous driving state allows for the reduced driving power.

16. A method for reducing a driving power of a vehicle drive, comprising:
-
detecting a temperature difference between a temperature of at least one component of the vehicle drive and a predetermined temperature threshold value; detecting an instantaneous driving state of the vehicle drive; determining whether the instantaneous driving state allows for a reduction in the driving power; and reducing the driving power of the vehicle drive for lowering the temperature of the at least one component, in order to increase the temperature difference if the instantaneous driving state allows for the reduction in the driving power. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A control unit for reducing a driving power of a vehicle drive, comprising:
-
a means for detecting a temperature difference between a temperature of at least one component of the vehicle drive and a predetermined temperature threshold value; a means for detecting an instantaneous driving state of the vehicle drive; a means for determining whether the instantaneous driving state allows for a reduction in the driving power; and a means for reducing the driving power of the vehicle drive for lowering the temperature of the at least one component, in order to increase the temperature difference if the instantaneous driving state allows for the reduction in the driving power.
