ABSTRACT:
A mode switching controlling device and method switches a hybrid drive (HEV) mode to an electric drive (EV) mode without engine stoppage shock. A fourth-to-fifth speed upshifting command is generated due to reduction in an accelerator opening. Then, an HEV-to-EV-mode switching command is generated. A command pressure of a direct clutch is set to 0, and an actual-pressure reduction disengages the direct clutch, causing an automatic transmission to be in a neutral state. When a first time elapses from generation of the switching command, a first clutch command pressure is set to its maximum value, and the first clutch disengages by an actual pressure increase. When a second time elapses, the engine is stopped by reducing engine torque to perform mode switching. A front brake command pressure is set to a precharge pressure when the second time elapses and to its maximum value at a later time when a gear-switching rotation matching controlling operation of a motor-generator is ended, so that the front brake is engaged due to an actual pressure increase for upshifting from the fourth to fifth speed.
