Abstract: Provided is a hybrid vehicle in which a motor/generator 5 is positioned between an engine 1 and an automatic transmission 3, the engine 1 and the motor/generator 5 are connected through a first clutch 6 and a second clutch 7 is provided between the motor/generator 5 and a drive road wheel 2.

Even when, due to rapid decelerating, the engine speed Ne drops to an idling speed or lower due to delay in the release of the first clutch 6, there is no combustion or explosion and thus floor vibration does not occur.

Abstract: A hybrid vehicle control device includes an engine start control unit which, at engine start, starts slipping a second clutch, sets a first clutch to a slip-engaged state, and sets the second clutch transmission torque capacity to less than or equal to a set torque limit value during cranking, maintains the slip state and cranks the engine, and when the engine is put in a drive state, controls the first clutch and the second clutch towards a fully engaged state. The engine start control unit is provided with a second clutch torque increase gradient control unit which, when performing cranking processing, performs first increasing processing for increasing the second clutch transmission torque capacity command value at a first increase gradient, and second increasing processing for increasing said value at a second increase gradient more gradual that the first increase gradient.

Abstract: Provided herein is a vehicle drive force control. When a driver requests to start the vehicle with the brake OFF and depresses the accelerator pedal, a target drive torque exceeds a gradient load. To avoid excess current being supplied to the motor, the upper limit of motor speed, which is the input speed of a second clutch, is set to a value less than a slip detectable limit value at which it becomes possible to detect slip rotation, i.e. the difference over the output side rotation speed. When the target drive torque exceeds the gradient load, the lower limit of the input speed of the second clutch (the motor speed) is set to a value equal to or greater than the slip detectable limit value so that the required driving force can be achieved by the gradient load corresponding driving force control.
