Abstract

In a method for operating a vehicle having a drive, a value of an internal torque to be supplied by the drive is determined from a positive propulsion torque requested by a user or a control and/or regulating system and the drive is triggered accordingly. Furthermore, the drive may supply a negative propulsion torque. A value of a negative propulsion torque requested by the user or by the control and/or regulating system is determined and then used to determine a value of a corresponding negative internal torque to be supplied by the drive and the drive may be triggered accordingly.
