Abstract: In a driven state phase, target input torque is limited to a first limit value, whereas in a backlash-elimination state phase, the target input torque is limited to a second limit value and target engine torque and torque of a motor-generator are controlled according to the target input torque. In the backlash-elimination state phase, the target input torque is limited to the second limit value that is suitable for mitigating rattling shock, so that rattling shock can be appropriately mitigated. Meanwhile, in the driven state phase, the target input torque is limited to the relatively high first limit value, so that an MG rotation speed can be quickly increased to eliminate a rotational difference, which enhances the responsiveness of driving power up to when required driving power is obtained after elimination of the backlash.

A hybrid electric vehicle has an electric traveling mode, in which the hybrid electric vehicle travels with a system clutch disengaged and an engine in a stopped state, and a hybrid traveling mode, in which the hybrid electric vehicle travels with the system clutch engaged and engine operating. The processing circuitry is configured to control, when the traveling mode is switched from the electric traveling mode to the hybrid traveling mode, a throttle opening degree of the engine at the time of completion of engagement of the system clutch in accordance with the atmospheric pressure such that a constant intake air amount is obtained regardless of the level of the atmospheric pressure.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a vehicle that includes an engine, an electric motor and a clutch provided between the engine and the electric motor. An engine-start delay control is executed in a case in which a requested drive amount is realized by only a torque of the electric motor and a first starting manner is being selected as an engine starting manner. Then, in a case in which a predetermined time elapses from initiation of the engine-start delay control, the engine-start delay control is terminated and the engine is started in the first starting manner. On the other hand, in a case in which the engine starting manner is switched from the first starting manner to a second starting manner before the predetermined time elapses from the initiation of the engine-start delay control, the engine-start delay control is terminated and the engine is started in the second starting manner.

In the second deceleration process, the deceleration control unit causes the motor to output the friction torque at a rotational speed of the engine corresponding to a rotational speed of the motor as the regenerative torque.
