CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE
DRIVE
December 18, 2024
[Problem to be Solved]To provide a control device for a hybrid vehicle capable of prompting a driver to perform a shift operation similar to that in an HEV mode by sound or vibration even in an EV mode.[Solution]A control device for a hybrid vehicle includes: a manual transmission 4 allowing a driver to manually select an arbitrary shift stage; an engine 2 driving a drive wheel 6 through the manual transmission 4; a clutch 7 enabling or disabling the transmission of power between the engine 2 and the manual transmission 4; a motor generator 3; and an ECU 10 switching an EV mode allowing the vehicle to run only using the motor generator 3 as a drive source and an HEV mode allowing the vehicle to run using the engine 2 and the motor generator 3 as a drive source and allowing the motor generator 3 to generate, in an EV mode, a virtual driving vibration corresponding to a driving vibration when the engine 2 drives the drive wheel 6 in the HEV mode and a virtual engine vibration corresponding to a vibration generated by an inertial force of the engine 2 in the HEV mode.
