Abstract
A hybrid vehicle control apparatus, in a vehicle having an engine; a first electric motor and a second electric motor; an output shaft connected to a drive wheel; a differential gear device whose gear elements are connected to the engine, the first and second electric motors, and the output shaft, respectively, has a generated control torque calculation processing device for calculating a control torque generated in association with an electrical control of the second electric motor; an inertia torque calculation processing device for calculating inertia torques; a target control torque calculation processing device for calculating a control torque serving as a target; and a torque control processing device for performing a torque control of the first electric motor in accordance with the control torque serving as the target. As a result, the control torque can be calculated without being affected by inertia torques, so that the drive feeling of the hybrid type vehicle does not deteriorate.
