摘要:
A hybrid drive system including an engine and an electric motor at least one of which is operated as drive power source to drive a motor vehicle in a selected one of different operation modes. The system is adapted to prevent concurrent operations to change the operation mode and the speed ratio of a power transmitting device or the ratio of torque distribution to front and rear drive wheels, or concurrent operations to change the operation mode and switch the power transmitting device from a non-drive state to a drive state, for avoiding a shock due to a torque variation which would arise from the concurrent operations. The system is alternatively adapted to cut a power transfer from the drive power source to the power transmitting device, or hold the output of the drive power source substantially constant, when the power transmitting device is switched from the non-drive state to the drive state.

A controller for a hybrid vehicle (HV) idles first an internal combustion engine (ICE) when it is determined in advance that a load on the HV or a motor will increase, and thereafter switches to a travelling mode in which the ICE is used. Based on output of a vehicle weight sensor, a gradient sensor, a towing sensor, a start/power mode switch and other on-board sensors or switches, it is determined in advance that a load on the HV or the motor will increase. Otherwise, based on information obtained from a navigation system or from another vehicle to be towed, it is determined in advance that a load on the HV or the motor will increase. Based on a difference of output between an open air temperature sensor and a cabin temperature sensor, a load on an on-board appliance is detected, and based on the detected load, it is determined in advance that a load on the HV or the motor will increase. Thus, a delay in following the ICE in response to the switching of travelling modes can be decreased or remedied.
