Abstract
A Hybrid vehicle has an internal combustion engine, a first motor-generator, i.e., MG, a second MG, a battery section, and a control section. The control section performs first control which transmits power of the first MG to a drive shaft. The control section performs second control which starts the internal combustion engine by generating torque to the internal combustion engine using difference of rotational speeds of the first MG and the second MG, when the battery section fails while performing the first control. In the second control, the control section controls the second MG to generate electric power for driving the first MG. It is possible to provide a hybrid vehicle capable of starting the internal combustion engine even if the battery section becomes abnormal.
