ABSTRACT:
A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and a motor. A power split means splits a crankshaft power of the internal combustion engine into two drivelines to drive traction wheels of the vehicle using one of the drivelines. A generator is coupled to the other driveline such that torque of the motor is allowed to act upon the one of the drivelines to drive the traction wheels during operation of the motor. A controller includes motor drive mode determination means and control means. The motor drive mode determination means determines whether the vehicle is in a motor drive mode. The control means controls the torque produced in the generator in such a manner that if it is determined that the vehicle is in the motor drive mode, the torque to act upon the crankshaft from outside the internal combustion engine is generally zero.
