HYBRID VEHICLE ENGINE CONTROL PROCESS IN THE CASE OF A DECELERATION PHASE

The invention relates to a method for controlling a deceleration phase of a hybrid vehicle powertrain comprising a thermal engine (11) and a second motor (19). The invention proposes a method during a deceleration phase comprising a step of supplying a braking torque to the wheels by the thermal engine (11) in addition to a regenerative torque by the second motor (19) when energy recovery is saturated. The method applies to any type of hybrid vehicle, thermal/electric, or thermal/hydraulic.
