Abstract:
Systems, methods and controllers for facilitating or providing a more efficient operation of a vehicle are disclosed. An accelerator input is detected from an accelerator sensor and it is determined whether the accelerator input is within a first range of values or within a second range of values. If it is determined that the accelerator input is within the first range of values, an engine is controlled to provide limited or no power to a transmission. If it is determined that the accelerator input is within the second range of values, the engine is controlled to provide a substantially constant power to the transmission.
