A parallel hybrid vehicle (10) includes an electric motor (24) and an internal combustion engine (23) which is connected to a manual gearbox via a clutch (22). A sensor (30) monitors for disengagement of the clutch (22) during a gear change and a control unit (26) controls the motor (24) so as to compensate for the reduction in torque from the engine during gear change. This helps the driver to keep proper control of the vehicle during gear change, particularly on steep slopes. |
