Abstract

A method and an arrangement for controlling an internal combustion engine of a vehicle wherein a desired torque value is pregiven, this desired torque value being separated into at least two desired values. The desired values serve to adjust the charge of the internal combustion engine and at least one further power parameter, which effects a rapid torque change. The at least two desired values assume different values at least in one operating state.
