Abstract
The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling the output power of a drive unit of a motor vehicle wherein a desired output torque command is determined on the basis of the driver command. A desired engine torque is computed from this desired output torque command while considering the torque transmission of a converter unit of an automatic transmission in all steady-state operating states. The converter unit is equipped with a controllable clutch. The desired engine torque is prepared by adjusting the output parameters of the engine.
