Hybrid vehicle

摘要

The present invention provides a hybrid vehicle (50A) including a first transmission path that transmits a traction of an engine (1) to driving wheels (6) and a second transmission path that transmits a traction of a motor (8) to the driving wheels (6), and the hybrid vehicle (50A) runs by alternatively selecting either the first or second transmission path or in combination thereof. The first transmission path has a first reduction gear ratio that is defined to be smaller than a reduction gear ratio at which a maximum vehicle speed can be achieved by the traction of the engine (1) alone.
