Abstract
The system has an engine, and a planetary gear. The planetary gear has a sun gear, a carrier rotatably supporting a plurality of pinions each of which engages with the sun gear, a ring gear engaging with the pinions. A first motor is connected to an output shaft of the engine and the sun gear of the planetary gear. The first motor is capable of using as a driving source and as a power generator. A second motor is connected to the ring gear. The second motor is also capable of using as a driving source and as a power generator. An automatic transmission is connected between the carrier of the planetary gear and an axle of a hybrid motor vehicle.
