Abstract

In a hybrid automatic transmission of a hybrid electric vehicle equipped with a differential device having two-degree-of-freedom and at least four rotating members respectively connected to a prime mover as an input element, a drive train as an output element, and first and second motor-generators. A specified relationship among inertias of rotating systems relating to the prime mover, output element, and first and second motor-generators, a first lever ratio of a distance between an input element and the first motor-generator to a distance between the input and output elements, and a second lever ratio of a distance between the output element and the second motor-generator to the distance between the input and output elements is determined, so that a center of gravity of a lever on an alignment chart of the hybrid transmission is laid out on the output element or between the output element and the second motor-generator.
