Abstract
This vehicle control device controls the traveling of a vehicle by switching the respective connection and disconnection states of a first power transmission path between an engine and a drive shaft and a second power transmission path between a rotary electric machine and the drive shaft, the vehicle control device limiting a deceleration torque due to a regenerative brake so that the deceleration torque is greater than a lower limit torque in accordance with a brake operation amount on the vehicle exceeding a prescribed threshold, when the first power transmission path is in an engaged state and the second power transmission path is in a released state.
Claims10
A vehicle control device configured to control traveling of a vehicle by switching between connection and disconnection of a first power transmission path between an engine and a drive shaft and a second power transmission path between a rotation electric machine and the drive shaft, wherein
- when the first power transmission path is in an engaged state and the second power transmission path is in a released state, in response to an amount of brake operation for the vehicle exceeding a predetermined threshold, a deceleration torque by a regenerative brake is limited to be greater than a lower limit torque.
