Abstract

A method and arrangement for controlling a drive unit of a vehicle are suggested. A desired torque value or a desired power value is formed on the basis of the driver command which serves to control the drive unit. A maximum permissible torque or a maximum permissible power is determined and the desired value is limited to the maximum permissible value when the desired value exceeds the maximum permissible value.
