Abstract

A method and apparatus for preventing troublesome load change shocks caused by a combustion engine having a time delay in the transmission of the accelerator pedal commands to the output control element. In order to exclude undesirable influences on operation due to the time delay, the time delay is limited to a very narrow region around the location zero of the torque gradient in relation to time.
