PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To downsize a power outputting unit equipped with a prime mover and a motor to be installed in a hybrid vehicle, and to provide a technology to improve its response. SOLUTION: In this hybrid vehicle, the power outputting unit is provided with a prime mover having an outputting shaft, a driving shaft outputting a power, a power adjusting unit which is coupled with the output shaft and the driving shaft and capable of transmitting to the driving shaft a power outputted from the prime mover, and increased or decreased, a motor having a rotating shaft, a change-over structure which switches a connection status of the rotating shaft, the outputting shaft and the driving shaft, and a change-over control unit controlling the change-over structure. The change-over control unit controls the change-over structure so that connections of the rotating shaft, the outputting shaft and the driving shaft are separated together under prescribed conditions when the hybrid vehicle is accelerated or decelerated. The change- over structure is placed between the motor and the power outputting unit, and arranged on a different shaft from the outputting shaft or the driving shaft. |
