Abstract
A hybrid vehicle having a pendulum damper in which resonance at around an idling speed of an engine can be prevented to improve N.V. performance. The hybrid vehicle comprises an engine and at least one motor. In the hybrid vehicle, a power transmission path is formed between the engine and drive wheels. In the power transmission path, a pendulum damper is disposed to suppress torsional vibrations, and a disconnecting clutch is disposed to selectively interrupt power transmission between the engine and the pendulum damper.
