Abstract

When there is a requirement on switching from the electrically driven drive mode to the hybrid drive mode by changing an accelerator position opening, the torque capacity is generated for the first clutch to start the engine. However, as torque capacity is at β, the engine rotational speed is quickly increased to the high-speed region free of the influence of the compressive reactive force of the engine; once the engine rotational speed becomes the high-speed region, the engine rotational speed is decreased as torque capacity and is at β. Consequently, it is possible to quickly pass through the low engine rotational speed region as the engine rotational speed torque is increased under the influence of the compressive reactive force, and avoiding the poor acceleration, as can be seen from the smooth variation of the time sequence increase of the transmission output rotational speed as indicated by β, is possible.
