Abstract

At a time of backward movement, a ring gear shaft, and thus a front axle, is disconnected from a planetary gear by a clutch, and a carrier and a ring gear, and thus, a crank shaft and a sun gear shaft, are connected to each other by the clutch, whereby a hybrid motor vehicle is constructed as a series-type hybrid electric motor vehicle, thereby outputting a torque in accordance with a depressed amount of an accelerator pedal to the front axle and a rear axle by a motor MG2 and a motor MG3 at a suitable torque distribution for backward movement. When a state of charge of a battery is small, power is generated by a motor MG1 using a power obtained by driving an engine so as to be supplied to the motor MG2 and the motor MG3.
