Abstract
A parallel hybrid vehicle can achieve regeneration efficiency in a regenerating operation by employing an electromagnetic two-way clutch which is superior in engaging and disengaging, can shorten a length in axial direction and can provide great freedom in layout. The parallel hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a motor generator having both functions of a generator and a motor, a transmission, a torque combining mechanism combining an output torque of the engine and an output torque of the motor generator by a planetary gear mechanism for outputting torque, control means for controlling output torque of the motor generator and rotating condition, and an electromagnetic two-way clutch mechanism selectively controlling engaging and disengaging between respective elements of the planetary gear mechanism.
