Abstract

The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling an output torque of a drive train of a motor vehicle. A desired value for the output torque is made available by the adjustment of a transmission and by the control of the engine. The desired value is determined on the basis of a driver command signal as well as on the basis of a minimum and/or maximum output torque dependent upon operating variables.
