PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To much properly control the output state of a power for traveling for each operation mode in a hybrid vehicle capable of selecting a plurality of operation modes. SOLUTION: In the hybrid vehicle 20, in the setting of target torque T*, when prescribed conditions (S1510, S1520) are established and a normal mode is selected, target torque T* is set so as to gradually change based on request torque Tr* and a value Trunor or a value Tranor set as an upper limit rate value Tru (S1570 or S1610). Also, when the prescribed conditions are established and a power mode is selected, the target torque T* is set so as to gradually change based on the request torque Tr* and a value Trupwr or Trapwr with an inclination to sharply change the target torque T* in comparison with the value Trunor and Tranor (S1570 or S1610).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly raise the temperature of a lubricating oil to prevent the viscosity from being raised, a mechanical loss from being increased, and a fuel economy from being lowered. SOLUTION: When a vehicle is stopped and a shift position SP is at N or P when the temperature Toil of the lubricating oil lubricating a power distribution/integration mechanism and a transmission is low (S110-S130), lock torques Tmlr, Tm2r are set for one of motors MG1, MG2 having a rotational speed of zero to electromagnetically lock the motor (S140-S190). Consequently, the temperature of the lubricating oil can be quickly raised by generating the heat equivalent to the power consumed by the electromagnetic lock in the motors MG1, MG2 without rotary driving the motors MG1, MG2.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce shocks when a transmission is switched from a neutral state to a driven state while suppressing overspeed of a motor or generator. SOLUTION: If a vehicle speed V is out of a non-rotational-synchronization range (V ≤ Vref1, Vref2 ≤ V) when a shift lever is moved to an N position to be neutral while an engine operates, the engine and motor MG1 are controlled (S140 to S200) such that the engine is self-sustained at the larger of a minimum engine speed Nmin computed from a minimum speed Nm1min of the motor MG1 and an idle speed Nidl and that a ring gear shaft on an input side of the transmission is rotated at a target speed Nr* expected when the shift lever is shifted to a D or R position. This can reduce shocks caused by shift lever operations without overspeeding the motor MG1. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly perform a learning control of idle revolution even in selecting a shift position in which a rotation element of a differential mechanism to be linked with a gear-changing mechanism is made to be non-engaging within the gear-changing mechanism in a power transmission device which is configured so as the differential mechanism to be linked to the gear-changing mechanism. SOLUTION: When a P position or an N position is selected, a ring gear 328 becomes a free state in a power dividing mechanism 310, because a transmission member 206 becomes non-engaging state within a second variable speed unit 400. When an idle operation is performed in these shift positions, learning of an idle speed control (ISC) is performed in a power dividing mechanism 310 to be operated as the differential mechanism after making behavior of engine speed not to become unstable by an electric power supply control (lock control) for locking a rotor of a second MG 312 linked with the ring gear 328 using an electromagnetic force.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid car for surely securing a vehicle driving force when a vehicle slides down on a hill-climbing road. SOLUTION: When a road gradient during traveling is larger than a threshold, an HV-ECU starts an engine when the engine is stopped (S50). Then, when determined that the vehicle slides down (S60: YES), the HV-ECU changes the operating point of the engine, and increases engine transmission torque to be output from the engine to a driving shaft (S70). Furthermore, the EV-ECU decides the operating points of the motor generators MG1 and MG2 so that regenerative torque of the motor generator MG2 can be reduced (S80). COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid vehicle capable of charging an electric storage device without making a driving wheel to be locked at the time of selecting a non-driving range. SOLUTION: A hybrid control unit makes an engine start (S60) at an N range (Yes in S10), when SOC of the electric storage device becomes lower than a threshold value (Yes in S30) and if the engine is not in operation (No in S50). Then the hybrid control unit determines whether or not a vehicle speed is lower than a threshold speed (S70), when the vehicle speed is lower than the threshold speed (Yes in S70), a second motor is operated with regenerative control (S80), and when the vehicle speed is not less than the threshold speed (No in S70), a first motor is operated with regenerative control (S90).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle, suppressing an unpleasant feeling imparted to an occupant when an engine stops. SOLUTION: When performing a changeover to a clutch C1, C2 non-transmission state, a controller 50 synchronously controls a driving device 11 such that a difference between driving shaft 22 side rotation and driving device 11 side rotation of clutches C1, C2 becomes a prescribed value or below based on output of a rotation sensor 76. When stop conditions of the engine 8 are satisfied when controlling the clutches C1, C2 in the non-transmission state, the controller 50 stops the engine 8, and successively performs the synchronous control until the engine 8 stops. Preferably, the stop conditions include that output of a first rotation sensor 77 or 78 shows a rotation speed wherein an electric motor MG1 has an overspeed when the clutch C1 or C2 is connected.
