ABSTRACT:
A control apparatus for a vehicle includes a power transmitting system between an engine and wheels. The transmitting system has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and a motor-generator actuated in one of a regenerating operation mode and an assisting operation mode. The motor-generator serves as a generator in a regenerating operation mode and as a motor in an assisting operation mode. The apparatus includes an electric control unit (ECU) that determines a shift of engine speed, computes the total amount of torque of the engine, the CVT and the motor-generator and selects one of the operation modes and actuates the motor-generator base on the selected operation mode to corrects the engine speed.
