A method and a device for steering and regulating components of a hybrid driveline (1, 2). For the mode of operation sparing in fuel and poor in emission of a motor vehicle having one such driveline, it is provided that the input torque desired by the driver be distributed among the drive torques of one internal combustion machine (VM) and of at least one electric machine (EM1, EM2) and such a driving mode be selected so that the state of charge of an electric energy accumulator (28) is optimally adapted to the actual rather dynamic or rather economic mode of operation of the driver.
