摘要：A method for controlling a transmission assembly includes providing a vehiclehaving a first power source and a second power source disposed in parallel with the firstpower source. The first power source includes a prime mover and a transmission

assembly. The transmission assembly includes a torque converter coupled to the primemover. The transmission assembly further includes a clutch that selectively engages thetorque converter to a transmission of the transmission assembly. The second powersource includes a pump-motor unit, a fluid reservoir and an energy storage unit. A torquevalue of the second power source is compared to a torque threshold value. The clutch ofthe transmission assembly is disengaged so that the torque converter of the

transmission assembly is disengaged from the transmission of the transmission assemblywhen the torque value of the second power source is greater than or equal to the torquethreshold value.
