Abstract
A hybrid vehicle configured to reduce a power loss resulting from delivery of an engine torque to drive wheels. In the hybrid vehicle, a locking gear is reciprocated by an actuator between a locking position to be engaged with a flywheel gear and a disengagement position to be disengaged from the flywheel gear. An operating mode of the hybrid vehicle includes: a first mode in which the hybrid vehicle is propelled while engaging the locking gear with the flywheel gear; and a second mode in which the hybrid vehicle is propelled while disengaging the locking gear from the flywheel gear.
