Abstract
A hybrid car includes an engine, a first motor, a first driving shaft connected to a first drive wheel, a planetary gear, a second motor, a battery, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to control the first motor and the second motor such that the hybrid car travels within a range of allowable input and output electric power of the battery. The electronic control unit is configured to set an upper limit driving force based on a balancing driving force commensurate with a dynamic frictional force between the first drive wheel and a road surface and control the engine, the first motor, and the second motor when an idling-slip of the drive wheel occurs such that a driving force equal to or less than the upper limit driving force is output to the first drive wheel.
