Abstract
A hybrid vehicle (100) is a parallel hybrid vehicle including a motor/generator (5) arranged between an engine (1) and a transmission (62). The engine (1) is configured to perform lean operation in a low-load operating range. The hybrid vehicle is configured such that a rotation speed at a maximum point of power generation efficiency of the motor/generator (5) is within a rotation speed range (Xa) corresponding to a lower-speed part (a) of a 95% fuel-consumption efficiency operating range (A) of the engine (1).
