Abstract
A method for controlling a drive of a vehicle with at least one first axle which having at least one mounted wheel. A drive torque is specified by a driver of the vehicle, and the first axle is driven by means of a first electric machine dependent on the drive torque. A second electric machine which is coupled to an internal combustion engine provides electrical energy for driving the first axle with the first electric machine. A respective control or target torque assigned to the second electric machine and the internal combustion engine is computed while taking into consideration the drive torque and machine parameters of at least the second electric machine. The second electric machine and the internal combustion engine are each regulated with respect to the assigned control torque or with respect to the assigned target torque.

14. A method for controlling a drive of a vehicle having at least one first axle with at least one mounted wheel, comprising
setting by a driver a drive torque of the vehicle, driving the at least one first axle with a first electric machine as a function of the drive torque, providing electrical energy with a second electric machine coupled to at least one combustion engine for driving the at least one first axle with the first electric machine, driving a second axle having at least one mounted wheel with the at least one combustion engine that is coupled to the second electric machine in order to operate the second axle with both the at least one combustion engine and the second electric machine, computing, by taking into account the drive torque and machine parameters of at least the second electric machine, a target torque associated with the second electric machine and with the at least one combustion engine, and controlling the second electric machine and the at least one combustion engine in parallel to the associated target torque with identical magnitude, but reverse mathematical sign.

22. A vehicle comprising
a drive having at least one first axle with at least one mounted wheel, a first electric machine coupled to the at least one first axle, a combustion engine, and a second electric machine coupled at least to the at least one combustion engine for providing electrical energy for driving the at least one first axle with the first electric machine, a second axle having at least one mounted wheel configured to be driven by the combustion engine that is coupled with the second electric machine, in order to operate the second axle by using both the combustion engine and the second electric machine, and a controller configured to allow a driver to set a drive torque of the vehicle, drive the at least one first axle with the first electric machine as a function of the drive torque, provide electrical energy with the second electric machine coupled to the combustion engine for driving-the first axle with the first electric machine, drive the second axle having at least one mounted wheel with the combustion engine that is coupled to the second electric machine in order to operate the second axle with both the combustion engine and the second electric machine, compute, by taking into account the drive torque and machine parameters of at least the second electric machine, a target torque associated with the second electric machine and with the combustion engine, and control the second electric machine and the combustion engine in parallel to the associated target torque with identical magnitude, but reverse mathematical sign.
