    Abstract: A hybrid control device calculates engine rotational speed and engine torque based on cooling water temperature for an engine and a charging state of a main battery. The hybrid control device operates the engine in a maximum charging efficiency mode, when the cooling water temperature is lower than a target temperature value and the main battery has a remaining charging capacity. In the maximum charging efficiency mode, the hybrid control device calculates such engine rotational speed and engine torque, which realize engine operation according to which a fuel consumption amount for a unit amount of charging electric power is minimized. As a result, efficiency of a vehicle control system is improved as a whole, to thereby improve fuel consumption ratio.

    Abstract: An air conditioner for a vehicle including an engine, which serves as a power source and is configured to allow a cooling water to flow therethrough, includes a cooling water circuit, a heater, temperature sensors, and an output controller. The cooling water circuit allows the cooling water to circulate therein in a heating operation. The heater serves as a heat source, other than the engine, configured to heat the cooling water circulating in the cooling water circuit. The temperature sensors are connectable to the cooling water circuit and are configured to detect a temperature of the cooling water. The temperature sensors are positioned upstream and downstream of at least one of the engine and the heater. The output controller is configured to adjust at least an output of the heater based on the temperatures of the cooling water detected by the temperature sensors.

    Abstract: A control apparatus of a hybrid vehicle has an engine, a motor, an engine-driven generator, and a battery. A controller determines an engine output based on an efficiency function that is defined by a drive power of the vehicle, a generated electric power from the generator, and a discharged electric power from the battery. The determined engine output controls the efficiency function to be kept in a value range that includes a maximum efficiency value of the efficiency function.

    Abstract: A vehicle includes an engine, a first MG, a second MG, a main battery which can be charged and discharged, and a heating device. The heating device includes an exhaust heater which uses an exhaust heat of the engine, and a heat pump system which uses an electric power of the main battery. A hybrid control device determines a start timing of the heating device, based on a coolant temperature and a SOC. Specifically, the start timing of the heating device is determined such that a timing that the coolant temperature reaches a target temperature matches a timing that the SOC reaches a target value. After a warming-up operation is completed, an EV travelling of the vehicle can be executed according to the electric power of the main battery charged in the warming-up operation, and a fuel consumption of the engine is improved.

    Abstract: A warm-up control unit determines that a fuel-consumption improving effect cannot be obtained or it is not necessary to facilitate a warm-up operation of an engine, when a manual switch, for example, an ECO-switch, is turned on, when an accelerator opening degree is smaller than a predetermined degree and a variation of the accelerator opening degree for a unit time is smaller than a predetermined variation value, or when an ambient temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature and there is no demand for a heating operation. Then, the warm-up control unit lowers a priority for preferentially carrying out the warm-up operation of the engine, so that an adverse effect for improving fuel consumption ratio which may be caused by facilitating the warm-up operation can be avoided.
