  • Publication number: 20220258724
    Abstract: A vehicle control device that controls a vehicle which is capable of traveling in a plurality of traveling modes including a first traveling mode and a second traveling mode. And the vehicle control device is capable of executing motor assist, in which electric power of a power storage device is supplied to an electric motor and driving of a drive wheel is assisted by the electric motor, when the vehicle is traveling in the first traveling mode, and is configured to change upper-limit assist electric power, which is an upper-limit value of electric power supplied from the power storage device to the electric motor in order to perform the motor assist, in accordance with a speed of the vehicle and a remaining capacity of the power storage device.

  • Patent number: 9404445
    Abstract: An evaporated fuel treatment apparatus includes a diagnosis section for leak diagnosis of an evaporated fuel tightly-closed system. In first diagnosis stage in which an atmosphere on-off valve is in close state after an ignition switch is turned off, the diagnosis section performs first leak diagnosis, based on relationship between tank internal pressure detected by a tank internal pressure sensor and first threshold value; and in second diagnosis stage in which the atmosphere on-off valve is in close state after completion of first leak diagnosis, the diagnosis section performs second leak diagnosis, based on relationship between tank internal pressure detected by the tank internal pressure sensor and second threshold value. The atmosphere on-off valve is once opened after completion of first leak diagnosis. First threshold value is set with larger deviation from the atmospheric pressure compared with second threshold value used in second diagnosis stage.
