PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power transmission of a vehicle which has a rotating device separately from a drive source, and capable of suppressing vibration and noise at a connection part between the rotating device and a power transmission pathway. SOLUTION: In a vehicle power transmission, a rotating device is connected to a power transmission pathway between a drive source and a wheel in a power transmittable manner, and when a predetermined condition is established, the rotating device is started. The vehicle power transmission has a vibration suppression means (Step S1 to Step S6) to suppress vibration generated in the power transmission pathway by starting the rotating device if the vibration is generated in the power transmission pathway by the rotational fluctuation of the drive source even when the predetermined condition is not established.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine which performs low-temperature combustion when SOx should be released by a SOx holding agent, stabilizing the operation of the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: The SOx holding agent 14 is provided in an engine exhaust passage 7 for holding SOx in exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine which selectively performs first combustion, where the generation amount of soot in a combustion chamber 2 is more than the peak amount of inactive gas in the constant condition of a fuel injection timing, and second combustion, where the generation amount of soot in the combustion chamber is less than the peak amount of inactive gas. The SOx holding agent holds SOx in exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing therein is lean, and it releases SOx being held when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing therein is an approximately stiochiometric air-fuel ratio or rich. When SOx should be released by the SOx holding agent, rich exhaust gas is supplied to the SOx holding agent while executing the first combustion after reducing the cooling performance of cooling water for the internal combustion engine.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optimally control the combustion state of a diesel engine. SOLUTION: Cylinder pressure sensors 29a to 29d detecting pressures in combustion chambers are installed in the cylinders of the diesel engine 1. Based on outputs from the cylinder pressure sensors, the electronic control unit (ECU) 20 of the engine calculates a crank angle θmax at which the product PV of a cylinder pressure and an actual cylinder displacement becomes maximum, calculates a period ΔT from the start of fuel injection to θmax, and feedback-controls the opening of an EGR valve 35 controlling the supplied amount of EGR gas to the engine so that the calculated ΔT becomes a target value determined based on an accelerator opening and an engine speed at present. Since ΔT can be calculated without increasing the calculation load of the electronic control unit 20 of the engine, an increase in the calculation load is not induced and the amount of EGR gas (EGR rate) can be accurately controlled to an optimum value.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To limit deterioration of response to the minimum at a time of transition operation while keeping fuel economy and exhaust emission. SOLUTION: This invention relates to an exhaust emission control device for a diesel hybrid vehicle 10 capable of being driven by at least one of a motor generator 17 and a diesel engine 11 including a turbocharger 26. The diesel engine 11 is provided with a pre-catalyst 40 having oxidation capacity in an exhaust manifold 30a in an upstream of a turbine 26b of the turbocharger 26, a bypass passage 44 branching off from an upstream of the pre-catalyst 40 and communicating to the upstream of the turbine 26b with bypassing the pre-catalyst 40, and a bypass valve 46 controlling exhaust gas quantity passing through the bypass passage 44. When the bypass valve 46 is fully closed and exhaust gas passes through the pre-catalyst 40 at a time of vehicle acceleration, the motor generator 17 provides the diesel engine 11 with torque assist to limit deterioration of acceleration response to the minimum while keeping fuel economy and exhaust emission.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the exhaust gas purification performance by improving the reduction efficiency of a NOx catalyst for occluding unpurified NOx and a reducing agent while preventing flowing out thereof in an exhaust emission purification device in a hybrid vehicle. SOLUTION: The exhaust emission purification device 50 is provided with a first catalyst 51 and a second catalyst 52 capable of being reduced by occluding NOx in the exhaust emission in an exhaust pipe 46, and a fuel addition valve 61 to feed fuel as the reducing agent to each catalyst 51, 52.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an engine controller capable of avoiding the seizure of an engine due to shortage of lubricant even if the amount of a fuel is almost brought into an empty state in a light oil fuel lubricating engine in which the fuel such as light oil is also used as a lubricating oil. SOLUTION: This engine controller 10 of the engine 2 in which the fuel such as the light oil is also used as the lubricating oil comprises a lubrication system fuel circulating circuit and an injection system fuel circulating circuit. Also, the engine controller comprises a fuel residual amount detection means 3a detecting the residual amount of fuel in a fuel tank 3 and a bypass passage 6 feeding the fuel from the fuel tank 3 directly to a direct injection pump 5 after bypassing a lubrication pump 4. When the fuel residual amount detection means 3a indicates a prescribed value or below, the flow of the fuel from the lubrication pump 4 to the injection pump 5 is cut off by a selector valve 7 to separate the lubrication system fuel circulating circuit from the injection system fuel circulating circuit so that the fuel can be circulated by the lubrication system fuel circulating circuit only.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller of a hybrid vehicle for effectively utilizing remaining battery power and optimally implementing a torque assist during acceleration and deceleration even if the battery charge quantity decreases. SOLUTION: The controller of the hybrid vehicle is provided with an engine as a running drive source, a motor generator for generating power by an engine output or assisting the engine output by battery power, and a charge quantity detecting means for detecting the battery charge quantity SOC. In a controlling method during a gear shift, a gear shift assist operation region is limited to an operation region on the high rotation/high load side of the engine (step S12) if the detected SOC is less than a predetermined lower limit, for example, 45% (step S10 and a positive case of step S11), and the gear shift assist operation range is not limited and the whole operation region is set in response to the SOC (step S13) if the SOC is larger than the predetermined lower limit (a negative case of step S11).
