ABSTRACT:
A hybrid vehicle is powered by a drive system including an internal combustion engine (11), a generator (16) and an electric motor (25). A differential gear unit (13) is arranged between the engine and the generator, which includes at least three gear elements, the first (S) being connected to the generator, the second (R) being connected to a torque output shaft (14) and the third (CR) being connected to the engine. A controller (51) is operated to control an engine speed based on an output rotation speed of the second gear element or torque output shaft detected by a sensor (53), so that rotation of the generator is restricted even if some accident happens to the generator.
