<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate making a driver readily recognize that a shift position is at a neutral position, when the shift position is set to be the neutral position. <P>SOLUTION: An engine 22 is controlled so that the engine 22 is independently operated at a rotational speed that becomes higher the larger the accelerator opening Acc becomes, while the gates of inverter 41 and 42 are blocked, when the shift position SP is the neutral position, thereby facilitating the driver to readily recognize that the sift position SP is an N position, because the hybrid vehicle operates like an vehicle by using only power from the engine when the driver steps on an acceleration pedal 83. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
