A METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A HYBRID ELECTRIC ARCHITECTURE OF A WORK VEHICLE

A method for controlling a hybrid parallel architecture (1) of a vehicle has the steps of setting a first target reference signal corresponding to an overall torque to be delivered to an output shaft (4) during a shuttling operation, determining at least one parameter as a minimizer or maximizer of a cost function having one or more input variables comprising a first variable corresponding to the first target reference signal, where the parameter is indicative of a torque split of the overall torque into a first and a second torque respectively delivered to the output shaft (4) from an electric machine (6) and a transmission (10), and controlling the transmission (10) and the electric machine (6) during the shuttling operation according to the at least one parameter as a reference parameter.
