Method for controlling a motor torque of an electric motor in a driveline of a motor vehicle, the driveline comprising a first side shaft for driving a first vehicle wheel , a second side shaft for driving a second vehicle wheel , a controllable first friction clutch which is associated with the first side shaft , and a controllable second friction clutch which is associated with the second side shaft , and a drive member arranged in the power path between the electric motor and at least one of the first and second friction clutch ; with the following method steps: monitoring a drive speed value representing the rotation speed (n21) of the drive member ; monitoring a first speed value representing the rotation speed (n17) of the first vehicle wheel ; monitoring a second speed value representing the rotation speed (n18) of the second vehicle wheel ; determining a transmittable first clutch torque (T20) for the first friction clutch as a function of the first speed value relative to the drive speed value; and determining a transmittable second clutch torque (T20') for the second friction clutch as a function of the second speed value relative to the drive speed value; monitoring a vehicle speed value representing the vehicle speed (v) and comparing the vehicle speed value with a predetermined speed threshold value (v_lim); if the vehicle speed value is below the predetermined speed threshold value (v_lim): controlling the electric motor in a high torque mode such that a motor torque generated by the electric motor is provided as required; characterised in that if the vehicle speed value is above the predetermined speed threshold value (v_lim): controlling the electric motor in a low torque mode such that the motor torque (Tm) generated by the electric motor is less than twice the smaller one of the first and second transmittable clutch torque (T20, T20') plus 50% of the maximum generatable torque (Tm_max) of the electric motor . monitoring a drive speed value representing the rotation speed (n21) of the drive member ; monitoring a first speed value representing the rotation speed (n17) of the first vehicle wheel ; monitoring a second speed value representing the rotation speed (n18) of the second vehicle wheel ; determining a transmittable first clutch torque (T20) for the first friction clutch as a function of the first speed value relative to the drive speed value; and determining a transmittable second clutch torque (T20') for the second friction clutch as a function of the second speed value relative to the drive speed value; monitoring a vehicle speed value representing the vehicle speed (v) and comparing the vehicle speed value with a predetermined speed threshold value (v_lim); if the vehicle speed value is below the predetermined speed threshold value (v_lim): controlling the electric motor in a high torque mode such that a motor torque generated by the electric motor is provided as required; characterised in that if the vehicle speed value is above the predetermined speed threshold value (v_lim): controlling the electric motor in a low torque mode such that the motor torque (Tm) generated by the electric motor is less than twice the smaller one of the first and second transmittable clutch torque (T20, T20') plus 50% of the maximum generatable torque (Tm_max) of the electric motor . controlling the electric motor in a high torque mode such that a motor torque generated by the electric motor is provided as required; characterised in that if the vehicle speed value is above the predetermined speed threshold value (v_lim): controlling the electric motor in a low torque mode such that the motor torque (Tm) generated by the electric motor is less than twice the smaller one of the first and second transmittable clutch torque (T20, T20') plus 50% of the maximum generatable torque (Tm_max) of the electric motor . <EOS>
