Method and apparatus for operating a hybrid vehicle

A method of operating a hybrid vehicle having a first (4) and a second drive unit (1), in which the second drive unit (1) is started by at least the applied part by the first drive unit (4) driving energy, while the hybrid vehicle from the first drive unit (4) is driven, the second drive unit at rest (1) by means of kinetic energy, which is obtained from a travel movement of the hybrid vehicle is started with the first drive unit (4) at least one landing gear case (3) of the hybrid vehicle directly drives its movement by means of a transmission (5, 6) on the second drive unit (1) is transmitted, characterized in that the input shafts (15, 18) of a double clutch transmission (5, 6) formed transmission, a gear is engaged, wherein the input shafts (15, 18) receive the movement of the hybrid vehicle, and that for transmitting the movement to the second drive unit (1) to its start after the disengagement of the gears of the dual clutch transmission (5, 6) at least one of the clutches (14, 17) of the dual clutch transmission (5, 6) is closed, each of which has an input shaft (15, 18) of the connect the dual clutch transmission (5, 6) to the second drive unit (1).
