  • Patent number: 11203259
    Abstract: A power train device of a vehicle includes an engine and an automatic transmission. The automatic transmission is configured such that in a neutral state, multiple ones of multiple rotary elements forming a power transmission path other than a rotary element coupled to an input member and a rotary element coupled to an output member are in a non-restraining state. The multiple ones of the multiple rotary elements include a rotary element of a predetermined brake among multiple friction fastening elements, and the predetermined brake is fastened before a fuel supply upon an engine start.

  • Patent number: 11143293
    Abstract: A power train device for a vehicle is provided with a selector valve that is switched between a first state in which oil discharged from an electric oil pump is able to be supplied as a hydraulic fluid to an engagement hydraulic chamber of a vehicle-starting frictional engagement element, and a second state in which the oil is able to be supplied as a lubricating oil to the vehicle-starting frictional engagement element through a first lubricating oil supply circuit, depending on a magnitude of a discharge pressure of a mechanical oil pump.
