DECELERATION CONTROLLER FOR HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

摘要

A deceleration control apparatus for a hybrid electric vehicle in which an electric motor conducts regenerative braking when the vehicle is to be decelerated comprises a braking unit for applying a braking force on a drive member transmitting drive power converted by a parallel axes-type automatic transmission to wheels, and a control unit for controlling the braking unit to apply a braking force on the drive member while a downshift is being conducted in the automatic transmission in the process of deceleration of the vehicle.
