A driving force control system for a hybrid vehicle configured to prevent an increase in emission while achieving a required driving force in a condition where an accumulation of particulate matter on a particulate filter is small. A controller is configured to set a threshold level of an SOC level of a battery to shift from a motor mode to a hybrid mode to a higher level and set an upper limit power of an engine in the hybrid mode to a lower power, in a situation where the amount of particulate matter accumulated in a GPF is equal to or smaller than a predetermined amount.

Provided is a UV curable sealing material containing a vinyl chloride sol as a main ingredient, the film strength of the sealing material being not reduced even in a thin film, the sealing material thus having high resistant pressure against a hem blister. Provided is a vinyl chloride sol composition containing a vinyl chloride-based resin, a UV curable resin having a polar group (functional group), a blocked isocyanate resin, and a filler, the vinyl chloride sol composition being characterized by containing the UV curable resin having a polar group (functional group) in an amount of 20 to 100 parts by weight, the blocked isocyanate resin in an amount of 10 to 50 parts by weight, and the filler in an amount of 50 to 160 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the vinyl chloride-based resin.

A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle is applied to a hybrid vehicle capable of running in EV mode and configured to allow external charging. The control apparatus comprises a controller configured to acquire an external charging time at which charging of the battery by electrical power supplied from outside the vehicle becomes possible with the hybrid vehicle staying at a predetermined charging site and execute generation control to control electrical power generation by the electric motor using an internal combustion engine on the basis of a remaining time defined as the length of time from the current time to the time of the next external charging time, when an SOC value becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined lower threshold. The control apparatus as above can reduce the degree of dependence on the internal combustion engine as much as possible.

A pressure relief valve is opened from a first time to a second time for the purpose of reducing the pressure in the gas phase in a gas-liquid separator. A first water pump (WP) is driven at a third time and a fourth time. The third time and fourth time correspond to timings at which a difference between a boiling temperature and an actual temperature becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature. Since liquid-phase coolant in a catch tank can be fed to another water pump by driving the first WP, the actual temperature of the liquid-phase coolant immediately upstream of the other water pump can be lowered. It is thus possible to prevent intense boiling of the liquid-phase coolant immediately upstream of the other water pump.

Ebullient cooling device

An ebullient cooling device includes: an internal combustion engine cooled by boiling a coolant flowing through a coolant passage formed within the internal combustion engine; a gas-liquid separator that separates a coolant discharged from the internal combustion engine into a liquid-phase coolant and a gas-phase coolant; a condenser that is disposed on a downstream side of the expander, and cools the gas-phase coolant having passed through the expander so as to be changed into a liquid-phase coolant; a first passage that supplies the liquid-phase coolant from the condenser to the coolant passage formed within the internal combustion engine; a second passage that is branched from the first passage, and is connected to the gas-liquid separator; and a control valve that controls a supply state of a liquid-phase coolant supplied to the gas-liquid separator from the condenser through the second passage.
