Abstract
An apparatus for operating an electric machine of a vehicle during a recuperation process is provided. The vehicle includes a first electric machine which is coupled to a first axle of the vehicle, and a second electric machine which can be coupled to a second axle of the vehicle. The apparatus is configured to determine, on the basis of sensor data from one or more sensors in the vehicle, whether the second electric machine should be used to recuperate electric energy during a recuperation process in addition to the first electric machine. The apparatus is also configured, depending on this determination, to operate the second electric machine during the recuperation process in order to recuperate electric energy.
