Abstract
The invention relates to a method for optimizing the consumption of a hybrid drive, especially a hybrid drive for a motor vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine provided with a plurality of cylinders and at least one electric engine, the internal combustion engine and the electric engine being operated in parallel in the hybrid mode. According to the invention, at least one cylinder is disconnected in the partial load range of the internal combustion engine, a variation in the internal combustion engine power and/or the internal combustion engine power requirement being at least partially compensated by the electric engine.
