Publication number: 20150344023Abstract: A control unit for a hybrid vehicle determines whether warming of an engine is insufficient in an outside electric power feed mode. When the warming of the engine is insufficient, it is determined whether current time is in an initial period of electric power feed. When the current time is in the initial period of the electric power feed, only electric power of an electric storage device is supplied to the outside in a state that the engine is off. When the current time is not in the initial period of the electric power feed, the engine is turned on, and only electric power generated in a motor is supplied to the outside. When the warming of the engine is sufficient, the electric power generated in the motor, the electric power of the electric storage device, or both of them are supplied to the outside.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2015Publication date: December 3, 2015Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Toshio INOUE, Shunsuke FUSHIKI, Tomoaki HONDA, Keita FUKUI, Hidekazu NAWATA, Yuta NIWA, Taichi OHSAWA

Publication number: 20150175008Abstract: Vehicle is configured to supply power to outside of a vehicle. Vehicle includes an engine, a battery, a first MG configured to generate power with use of motive power of the engine, a switching unit configured to switch power supplied to outside of the vehicle between power generated by the first MG and power stored in the battery, an ECU configured to control the switching unit, and a detection unit configured to allow the ECU to determine whether or not the vehicle is located indoors. When the ECU determines that the vehicle is located indoors based on an output from the detection unit, it controls the switching unit so that the power supplied to outside of the vehicle to be switched from power generated by the first MG to power stored in the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomoaki HONDA, Toshio INOUE, Shunsuke FUSHIKI, Keita FUKUI, Hidekazu NAWATA, Yuta NIWA, Taichi OSAWA

Publication number: 20140251280Abstract: A control apparatus that controls a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, the fuel supply system including a low-pressure fuel supply mechanism that injects low-pressure fuel into an intake port of the internal combustion engine, and a high-pressure fuel supply mechanism that injects high-pressure fuel into a cylinder of the internal combustion engine, includes a control portion that controls a supply of fuel to the internal combustion engine from the fuel supply system. Immediately after the vehicle stops, when the internal combustion engine satisfies a predetermined condition, the controller idles the internal combustion engine by supplying the high-pressure fuel to the internal combustion engine by the high-pressure fuel supply mechanism, and after stopping the supply of fuel by the high-pressure fuel supply mechanism, idles the internal combustion engine by supplying the low-pressure fuel to the internal combustion engine by the low-pressure fuel supply mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2012Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takuya Ikoma, Ryoji Tachibana, Zenichiro Mashiki, Ryoji Abe, Kenichi Saito, Tatsuhiko Akita, Tomoaki Honda, Yoshiaki Hamamoto
