摘要:
A power transmitting system for a motor vehicle having a manually operated member for selecting one of operating states of the power transmitting system, which include a neutral state, wherein a power transmitting path between a drive power source and a drive wheel of the motor vehicle is electrically disconnected by a first power disconnecting device, and is mechanically disconnected by a second power disconnecting device which is operated in response to an operation the manually operated member to the neutral state. Also disclosed is a hybrid drive system including a start-up control device operated upon operation of the manually operated member from a non-drive state to a drive state, for controlling the reaction torque of a motor/generator to rise according to one of predetermined rise characteristics which is selected depending upon a vehicle running condition.

A vehicle drive device is provided having a first source of driving force and a hydraulic transmission, into which power is input from the first source of driving force, arranged axially. A motor that transmits power by an electromagnetic action between a stator and a rotor is arranged between the first source of driving force and the hydraulic transmission. The stator is arranged to be radially distant from the rotational center axis of the hydraulic transmission. A small diameter portion formed to have a smaller outer diameter than an inner diameter of the stator is formed at a motor side of the hydraulic transmission and the hydraulic transmission is arranged with the small diameter portion being inserted axially into the inner periphery of the stator. As a result, the axial length of the vehicle drive device is shortened to thereby provide a small-size, lightweight device.

摘要:
In a vehicle provided with a transmission that has a lock-up clutch that is directly couplable between drive sources and a drive shaft, the shock of switching between the drive sources is prevented from being transmitted. It is determined whether the drive source is to be switched, and when “YES” is determined, a lock-up clutch is disengaged or placed in a half-engaged state, and the shock due to switching of the drive source is prevented from being transmitted. Then, after it is confirmed that switching of the drive source is completed, the lock-up clutch is once again placed in the fully-engaged state.
摘要:
Hybrid motor vehicle drive system including an electric motor operated by an electric energy generated by an electric generator and stored in a storage device, an engine, and a controller for controlling the engine and electric generator to operate in an electricity generating drive mode when a predetermined condition is satisfied, such that the engine is operated so as to provide an output greater than a required power to drive the motor vehicle, so that the vehicle is driven by the engine with the required power while the electric generator is operated by the engine with a surplus power to charge the storage, and wherein the controller includes a special control device operated in the event of a failure of the electric generator, for inhibiting the selection of the electricity generating drive mode and selecting an engine drive mode to operate the engine for driving the motor vehicle with the required power, even when the predetermined condition is satisfied.
