Abstract
A control strategy for obtaining optimal acceleration of a vehicle containing a dual range infinitely variable transmission. The transmission output clutch is selectively engaged in order to provide an optimal distribution of power during acceleration of a vehicle between accelerating the vehicle and accelerating the engine speed in order to obtain a higher power output from the engine.
