Abstract

A method is implemented in a vehicle comprising first and second prime movers, one employing combustion and one not employing combustion and delivering first and second torques that together form a total torque, and a gearbox capable of changing performing a gearshift from a nth gear having a nth gear ratio to an (n+1)th gear having an (n+1)th gear ratio, during a first phase of preparing to transfer the total torque, and then during a second phase of transferring the total torque. This method comprises a step (10-40) in which, during the first phase, when the second prime mover cannot provide any second torque, the first prime mover is required also to deliver an additional torque that compensates for the loss of torque brought about by the change in gear ratio with a demand for the second prime mover to recover torque plus the additional torque only when a pollution-control device coupled to the first prime mover is operational.
