Abstract
A method for controlling and monitoring a hybrid vehicle including a driving internal combustion engine, and an electric machine that is operational, upon an instruction, in a form of a driving engine and is powered by a battery. The method detects a vehicle operating state, in transmitting, in response, an operating instruction to the electric machine only, without requesting any particular instruction from the internal combustion engine and respecting the vehicle stability constraint and a protecting constraint of the electric components thereof.
