CONTROL APPARATUS FOR HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

In order to improve the fuel consumption efficiency of a hybrid vehicle, a control apparatus 1 for a hybrid vehicle is provided, which comprises as a power source a motor M and an engine E capable of executing partial cylinder deactivation operati on and the driving force of at least one of these is transmitted to wheels for running the vehicle. When the required output is larger than the output of the engine under parti al cylinder deactivation operation, and is smaller than the total output of the engine a nd the motor, which is adjustable for assisting the engine, the control apparatus operates the engine under partial deactivation and adjusts the motor output so as to compensate the difference between the total output of the power source and the output of the partial cylinder deactivated engine.
