Abstract

A method for reducing energy of torque for electrically boosting acceleration of a hybrid vehicle including a power train, a heat engine, an electric machine capable of jointly or separately outputting a torque to a wheel in accordance with management laws optimizing energy consumption of the vehicle, and a traction battery which is capable of recovering all or part of kinetic energy of a decelerating vehicle in a form of electric energy, and rechargeable via the heat engine. In the method electric boost torque available for the torque boost is reduced by a reduction coefficient of 0 to 1 according to an amount of energy remaining in an energy range of the battery reserved for the torque boost.
