CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE AND HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

A hybrid vehicle includes: an engine; a first motor; an output member; a differential mechanism, the engine, the first motor, and the output member being coupled via the differential mechanism; a second motor configured to apply torque to the output member; and an engagement mechanism configured to stop rotation of an output shaft of the engine or rotation of a specified rotational member that is coupled to the output shaft of the engine. An electronic control unit is configured to (i) engage the engagement mechanism when the hybrid vehicle travels reversely by drive power of the second motor or drive power of the first motor and the second motor, and (ii) disengage the engagement mechanism when the hybrid vehicle travels forward by the drive power of the second motor or the drive power of the first motor and the second motor.
