ABSTRACT:
There is provided a control system for electro-mechanical transmission that is selectively operative in a plurality of fixed gear modes and continuously variable modes comprising first and second electrical machines and four hydraulically-actuated clutches in fluid communication with a hydraulic circuit comprising first, second and third pressure control devices and first and second flow management valves. The control system is operative to selectively actuate the pressure control devices and the flow management valves based upon a demand for torque, presence of a fault, and temperatures of the electric machines.
