A system and a method for controlling torque intervention of a hybrid electric vehicle including a motor and an engine as power sources that includes: a driving information detector detecting a running state of the vehicle and demand information of a driver of the vehicle; a transmission control unit (TCU) requesting torque reduction while shifting of the vehicle based on a signal from the driving information detector; a traction control system (TCS) requesting torque reduction by outputting an intervention torque for preventing a wheel slip of the vehicle; and a controller controlling torque intervention by dividing a request amount of torque reduction into the engine and the motor when receiving the torque reduction request from the TCU or the TCS, wherein the controller firstly reduces a motor assist torque when a state of the motor before the torque intervention is an assist state, maintains a motor charging torque when the state of the motor before torque intervention is a charging state, and divides an additional reduction requirement in proportion to an available reduction range of the engine and an available reduction range of the motor.

A hybrid vehicle control device is provided with at least one controller that controls the outputs of the engine and of the motor according to the driving state, the engagement and disengagement of the clutch, and the transmission ratio of the continuously variable transmission. The at least one controller is programmed to start the engine and forcibly downshift the continuously variable transmission to a transmission ratio with which it is possible to start on an uphill road upon determining that the vehicle is on an uphill road while in an electric vehicle mode in which it is possible to travel by the drive force of the motor with the clutch released and the engine stopped.

A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a first motor, a second motor, a first planetary gear mechanism, a second planetary gear mechanism, a battery, and an electronic control unit.

The second planetary gear mechanism includes a fourth rotating element, a fifth rotating element, and a sixth rotating element. A brake is connected to the fifth rotating element. The electronic control unit is configured to turn on the brake at a time of high-vehicle-speed ignition-off of the hybrid vehicle such that the fifth rotating element is in a rotation stop state. The high-vehicle-speed ignition-off is that an ignition is off while the hybrid vehicle is traveling at a predetermined vehicle speed or higher while operating the internal combustion engine.

A hybrid powertrain mechanism includes: a first epicyclic train having first and second sun gears and a planetary gear to be coupled to the first and second sun gears; a second epicyclic train having third and fourth sun gears and a planetary gear to be coupled to the third and fourth sun gears; a first electric machine having one end coupled to the second sun gear; a second electric machine having one end coupled to the fourth sun gear; a first clutch having one end coupled to another end of the first electric machine; a second clutch having one end coupled to another end of the first clutch and another end coupled to the third sun gear; and an engine coupled to the first sun gear. Various driving modes are provided by changing the states of the first and second clutches and the operating modes of the first and second electric machines.

In accordance with an example embodiment, a transmission may include a first mode in which a low range clutch is engaged and a first synchronizer is in a first engaged condition causing an output shaft to rotate relative to a first range shaft based upon a ratio of a first range gear to a second range gear. The transmission may include a second mode in which a high range clutch is engaged and a second synchronizer is in a first engaged condition causing the output shaft to rotate relative to a second range shaft based upon a ratio of the first range gear to the second range gear. A shift from the first mode to the second mode includes engaging the second synchronizer in the first engaged condition before disengaging the low range clutch and engaging the high range clutch.

A vehicle includes and an engine, a motor, a transmission, and a controller. The transmission is configured is to receive power from the engine and the motor. The transmission is also configured to shift between gears based on a shift schedule. The controller is programmed to, in response to only the motor providing power to the transmission, adjust the shift schedule to narrow an operating speed range of the motor such that the motor speed maintains a peak range of an available motor power output.
