Abstract

In a 2-motor drive mode with connection of both motors with a driveshaft by means of a transmission, a hybrid vehicle sets torque commands of the motors based on a torque demand set at step S110, in order to minimize the sum of a loss of the motors and to ensure output of a power equivalent to a preset torque demand to the driveshaft.
