A hybrid vehicle of the present invention includes a brake 62 that fixes a sun gear shaft 31a linked with a sun gear 31 of a power distribution integration mechanism 30, and a clutch 64 that mechanically connects a drive shaft 36 with a motor MG2 and releases the mechanical connection of the drive shaft 36 with the motor MG2. In the case of a relatively low vehicle speed, the power of an engine 22 is subjected to torque conversion by the power distribution integration mechanism and motors MG1 and MG2 and is output to the drive shaft 36, while the brake 62 is in OFF position and the clutch 64 is in ON position. In the case of a relatively high vehicle speed, on the other hand, the power of the engine 22 is directly output to the drive shaft 36, while the brake 62 is in ON position and the clutch 64 is in OFF position. <IMAGE> |
