Abstract
A dual drive arrangement has three way power split device such as an epicyclic gearing system converting input rotation from a gearbox or from an electric motor into an output rotation driving a hydraulic pump. A method for controlling the dual drive arrangement driving a hydraulic pump includes setting a minimal flow value to the hydraulic pump, sensing the vehicle speed, processing the sensed vehicle speed where the processing includes comparing the sensed vehicle speed with a reference speed value to thereby determine whether the vehicle operates in a first operational mode I where the speed vehicle is too low to drive the hydraulic pump up to the minimal flow or in a second operational mode II where speed vehicle where the speed vehicle is sufficient to meet at least the minimal flow value, and controlling the operation of the epicyclic gear so that the electric source drives the hydraulic pump when the vehicle runs under the first operational mode I and at least the gearbox drives the hydraulic pump when the vehicle runs under the second operational mode II.
