<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid breakage of power generation/consumption balance while traveling at a virtual gear position that is set based on the relation between the number of revolutions of an engine and a vehicle speed. <P>SOLUTION: A derive control device is included in a hybrid vehicle which has an engine, motor, generator, and power storage device, and sets regulation number of revolutions Nemax and Nemin for regulating the number of revolutions of the engine, thereby controls the number of revolutions of the engine so that a ratio of the number of revolutions of the engine to a vehicle speed becomes constant. The derive control device includes a regulation number of revolutions changing means which when the power storage device discharges to meet a drive power requirement Preq of the vehicle, if a power volume Wout of the power storage device is smaller than a given threshold Woutth, changes the regulation number of revolutions Nemax and Nemin of the engine to a higher number of revolutions. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
