  • Patent number: 11338685
    Abstract: An engine control device for an electric vehicle having an electrical rotating machine, includes: an engine control unit determining an engine rotational speed and an engine torque such that a particulate number of particulate matter per unit gas quantity that the engine releases into an atmosphere becomes equal to or less than a target value having been set in association with a warm-up state of the engine, the engine rotational speed, and the engine torque, and such that the engine rotational speed when a vehicle speed is less than a threshold value is lower than the engine rotational speed when the vehicle speed is equal to or more than the threshold value, and controlling the engine based on the determined engine rotational speed and the engine torque.

  • Publication number: 20210380092
    Abstract: A vehicle allocation device includes a processor including hardware, the processor being configured to: determine, for each vehicle, a necessity of suppressing lowering of performance of an internal combustion engine based on vehicle information corresponding to the vehicle; determine a reservation as a first reservation when reservation information corresponding to the reservation of renting the vehicle satisfies a first condition under which suppressing of lowering of the performance is expected; and allocate the vehicle to the reservation based on the reservation information, wherein the processor is configured to allocate, in a case where the reservation is the first reservation, the vehicle satisfying a second condition indicating a high necessity of the suppression of lowering of the performance or the vehicle having a higher necessity of the suppression of lowering of the performance than the other vehicle to the reservation.
