Abstract

The invention relates to a method for measuring the torque of a drive unit (10), particularly a vehicle drive unit (10), said drive unit (10) comprising at least one bearing (20) for connecting to a fixed support point (21), and at least one sensor (22) being provided which measures a change in force and/or position, particularly a relative rotation of the drive unit (10), as a sensor value, wherein a torque at the drive unit (10) is determined as a measurement value on the basis of said sensor value.
