Abstract
A vehicular power transmitting system, which permits the power transmitting system to provide a sufficient vehicle drive force even when an input of an electric energy into an electric-energy storage device is restricted and which reduces the electric efficiency of at least one of an first electric motor and a second electric motor, when an input of an electric energy into a chargeable electric-energy storage device is restricted, during an operation of an engine. This provides a vehicle drive force and generation of the electric energy by at least one of the first electric motor and the second electric motor, so that the amount of electric energy generated by the first electric motor is reduced, and/or the amount of electric energy consumed by the second electric motor is increased, whereby a sufficient vehicle drive force can be obtained even when the input into the electric-energy storage device is restricted.
