A vehicle includes a hybrid powertrain and a positive clutch. The hybrid powertrain includes an engine and a motor/generator that are controlled so that the positive clutch can be effectively employed in the hybrid powertrain during vehicle launch, gear shifting, engine starting, and transitioning between propulsion modes. Un véhicule comprend un groupe motopropulseur hybride et un embrayage positif. Le groupe motopropulseur hybride comprend un moteur et un moteur/générateur qui sont commandés de telle sorte que l'embrayage positif peut être efficacement utilisé dans le groupe motopropulseur hybride lors du lancement de véhicule, du changement de vitesse, du démarrage de moteur et de la transition entre des modes de propulsion.
