ABSTRACT:
A drive apparatus for a hybrid vehicle equipped with an engine and a motor, heats the engine or a catalytic converter using the regenerated electricity of the motor. As the temperature of the engine or the catalyst thus rises, air polluting components in an exhaust gas discharged via the motor or the catalyst converter are reduced. Typical air polluting components are NC, NOx and CO.
