Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A hybrid vehicle is equipped with a required driving force acquiring element 22 which obtains a required driving force necessary to be output, and an electric motor driving force acquiring element 23 which acquires a maximum electric motor driving force Tm capable of being output by the force output from an electric motor MG according to each speed stage, taking into consideration a remaining capacity of an electric storage device BATT. When the required driving force Tq is equal to or smaller than the maximum electric motor driving force Tm, a highest speed stage in which the electric motor MG is capable of outputting the required driving force Tq is determined, an automatic transmission 1 is controlled so that the determined speed stage is set, and the vehicle is made to travel only by the force of the electric motor MG.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A hybrid vehicle, comprising: an internal combustion engine; an electric motor; an electric storage device providing and receiving electric power to and from the electric motor; an automatic transmission including a first converting mechanism connected to the electric motor, the first converting mechanism is transmitted with a driving force of the internal combustion engine selectively via a first make-and-break element, and a second converting mechanis…
