Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a motion of a vehicle. The vehicle can comprise an electric powertrain having at least one drive axle with a left output shaft and a right output shaft, a power assisted steering unit, and a propulsion torque distribution unit. The propulsion torque distribution unit can be configured to allocate wheel torques of different magnitudes to the left output shaft and the right output shaft respectively. The method can comprise receiving a total longitudinal force target value, a total lateral force target value and a total yaw moment target value. The method can further comprise determining a first wheel torque for the left output shaft and a second wheel torque for the right output shaft which minimize a total power consumption of the drive axle and the power assisted steering unit.
