A computer-implemented system for a vehicle having an engine, a battery system, a first motor/generator, and a second motor/generator, each motor/generator operably coupled to a ball-planetary variator (CVP), the computer-implemented system comprising: a digital processing device comprising an operating system configured to perform executable instructions and a memory device; a computer program including instructions executable by the digital processing device, the computer program comprising a software module configured to manage a plurality of vehicle driving conditions; a hybrid supervisory controller; and a plurality of sensors configured to monitor vehicle parameters including at least one of CVP input speed, engine torque, accelerator pedal position, CVP speed ratio, and battery charge, wherein the software module includes a plurality of software sub-modules configured to optimize the CVP speed ratio based at least in part on one of the vehicle parameters monitored by the plurality of sensors. The hybrid supervisory controller can choose the torque split and path of highest efficiency from engine to wheel, optionally operate at the best potential overall efficiency point in any mode and also provide torque variability, thereby leading to the best combination of powertrain performance and fuel efficiency.
