A control system for reducing throttling losses for a hybrid vehicle is provided. The control system comprises an accelerator pedal and an accelerator pedal sensor that senses movement of the accelerator pedal. The control system also comprises a throttle valve, an engine that is responsive to control of the throttle valve, an engine control module that controls fuel flow to the engine based on accelerator pedal sensor signals, and a transmission. The control system also includes a regenerative braking module that controls regenerative braking of the hybrid vehicle based on the accelerator pedal sensor signals, and a throttle-by-wire control module that at least one of opens the throttle valve and holds the throttle valve open in response to regenerative braking module signals when the transmission is in gear and when the engine control module shuts off fuel to the engine. |
