ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling a continuously variable speed transmission connected with an internal-combustion engine according to one or several characteristic control curves. A transmission ratio of the transmission is automatically set according to the position of a power control element. In order to be able to operate the internal-combustion at its consumption-optimal point, a "constant driving method" which requires only a low reserve of tractive force is detected, and transmission ratio is adjusted in response thereto, so that the internal-combustion engine is operated in its point of the lowest specific fuel consumption for the existing operating point of the vehicle.
