Abstract
A hybrid vehicle is provided. A vehicle V has a gasoline particulate filter (GPF) provided on an exhaust passage to capture particulate matter (PM) included in exhaust, a generator motor connected to a crank shaft of an engine, an exhaust temperature sensor acquiring a filter temperature correlated with a temperature of the GPF, and an electronic control unit (ECU) performing motor drive control for rotating the crank shaft with the generator motor when a filter temperature is higher than or equal to a PM combustion start temperature and a PM combustion integration amount that is an integration amount of PM combusted in the GPF is less than a PM discharge integration amount.
Claims20
A hybrid vehicle comprising:
- a filter provided on an exhaust passage of an engine to capture particulate matter included in exhaust;
- a motor connected to an output shaft of the engine;
- a temperature acquisition part acquiring a filter correlation temperature correlated with a temperature of the filter;
- and
- a control part performing motor drive control for rotating the output shaft with the motor when the filter correlation temperature is higher than or equal to a reference temperature and a particulate matter combustion amount that is an integration amount of the particulate matter combusted in the filter is smaller than a combustion amount threshold.
