A power output apparatus includes a planetary gear having a planetary carrier, a sun gear, and a ring gear, an engine having a crankshaft linked with the planetary carrier, a first motor attached to the sun gear, and a second motor attached to the ring gear. In response to an engine operation stop instruction, the power output apparatus stops a fuel injection into the engine and controls the first motor, in order to enable a torque acting in reverse of the rotation of the crankshaft to be output to the crankshaft via the planetary gear and a carrier shaft until the revolving speed of the engine becomes close to zero. This structure allows the revolving speed of the engine to quickly approach zero.
A power output apparatus for outputting power to a drive shaft, said power output apparatus comprising:
An engine controller comprising an engine for outputting power through combustion of a fuel and a motor connected to an output shaft of said engine via a damper, said engine controller controlling operation and stop of said engine and comprising:
A method of controlling a power output apparatus, which comprises:
A method of controlling stop of an engine, said engine outputting power through combustion of a fuel and having an output shaft connected to a motor, said method comprising the steps of:
A parallel hybrid vehicle, comprising:
An engine controller comprising an engine for outputting power through combustion of a fuel and a motor connected to an output shaft of said engine, said engine controller controlling operation and stop of said engine and comprising:
