ABSTRACT:
A control system for a hybrid vehicle including an internal combustion engine, a drive shaft driven by the engine, a generator for converting kinetic energy of the drive shaft to electrical energy to generate electric power, and an electrical storage device for storing electrical energy output from the generator, wherein idling of the engine is detected. An amount of electrical energy to be regenerated by the generator during the idling of the engine is calculated. An output from the generator is calculated based on the amount of electrical energy to be regenerated by the generator. An amount of intake air supplied to the engine is controlled in a manner such that the amount of intake air to be supplied to the engine is increased when the generator regenerates electrical energy during the idling of the engine. And an air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine is controlled to a leaner value than a stoichiometric value during the idling of the engine.
