Abstract
A control apparatus for controlling a hybrid vehicle having a planetary gear train including a first gear coupled to a first rotating electrical machine, a carrier coupled to an input shaft having an ejecting hole, the input shaft being coupled to an engine shaft of an engine via a torque limiting mechanism which allows the input shaft to skid against the engine shaft depending on a variation of torque between the input shaft and the engine shaft, and a second gear coupled to a drive shaft which is coupled to a second rotating electrical machine, and a rotation limiting mechanism which prevents the engine shaft from rotating in another direction, drives the first rotating electrical machine to output torque for rotating the input shaft in the another direction when the ejecting hole with the engine stopped does not extend in a predetermined direction in which the ejecting hole can eject oil to a mechanism portion of the planetary gear train which locates vertically above the input shaft.
