Hybrid vehicle and method of engine control of hybrid vehicle
In a hybrid vehicle, each of an engine and an MG1 is mechanically coupled to a drive wheel with a planetary gear being interposed. The planetary gear and an MG2 are configured such that motive power output from the planetary gear and motive power output from the MG2 are transmitted to the drive wheel as being combined. The engine includes a turbocharger, an EGR valve, and a WGV. When opening of the EGR valve exceeds first opening, a controller maintains opening of the WGV at second opening or larger.

Magnet temperature estimating device for motor and hybrid vehicle provided with the same
A magnet temperature estimating device for a motor including a rotor having magnets and configured to output a rotational motive force, and a stator having a plurality of coils opposing the rotor with a gap therebetween, is provided. The device includes a sensor configured to detect an induced voltage induced by rotation of the rotor, and a controller configured to control the motor by supplying power to the plurality of coils in response to an input of a detection signal from the sensor. Gaps adjacent to each magnet in a rotation direction of the rotor are formed in the rotor. The controller estimates a temperature of the magnet based on the induced voltage detected when the magnet opposes any one of the plurality of coils, according to the rotation of the rotor.

HYBRID DRIVING MODULE
The present invention relates to a hybrid driving module, in which an input member is aligned in a radial direction and/or an axial direction by a rotor hub, and thus the hybrid driving module may be easily assembled and ensure the high axial balance and the operability and durability of the engine clutch. In the hybrid driving module, the input member may be aligned at least in the radial direction or in the axial direction by a central shaft extension part of the rotor hub. A bearing configured to support a rotation and thrust may be installed between the central shaft extension part and the input member. The input member may be supported to be rotatable relative to a housing. The input member may be aligned in the radial direction and/or the axial direction by the housing.
