CONTROLLER FOR HYBRID VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR HYBRID VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller and a control method for a hybrid vehicle capable of appropriately controlling power requested by an internal combustion engine when the internal combustion engine is started.

SOLUTION: A travel control unit 250 selects one of multiple patterns regarding control of engine requested power Pe and controls the engine requested power Pe according to the pattern. The multiple patterns include: a first pattern for generating a requested value accompanying a start of an engine; a second pattern for generating a requested value after the start of the engine while generating no request value during the start of the engine; and a third pattern for generating no request value both during and after the start of the engine. The travel control unit 250 selects either one of the first and the third patterns as a control pattern in an EV mode where an engine basically stops.
