Abstract
A hybrid vehicle capable of efficiently regenerating a battery when the driving route is previously defined and of decreasing exhaust gases. A controller calculates a battery stored residual charge from the output of a battery current voltage detection sensor, sets a target value for the battery residual charge in accordance with road information and information of the present location of the vehicle, received from a navigation processor, and adjusts the outputs of a motor and an engine to cause the actual battery residual charge to approach the target value.
