A second powertrain has a vehicle transmission with at least one transmission output for driving at least one vehicle axle. A first electric machine can be coupled in terms of drive to the first powertrain. A second electric machine can be coupled in terms of drive to the second powertrain.

A power converter includes a rectangular casing that houses a semiconductor module, and bosses extending outward from three of four side walls of the casing excluding a rear side wall. The bosses include a first boss provided on a first side wall facing frontward, a second boss provided on a second side wall facing in a width direction of the mobile object orthogonal to an up-down direction and a front-rear direction, and a third boss provided on a third side wall opposite to the second side wall. The third boss is smaller in cross-sectional area than the second boss.

A motor vehicle includes: an engine; an electric motor for traveling that is able to perform regenerative driving; a power storage device that is able to supply electric power to the electric motor and to be supplied with electric power from the electric motor; and a control device that controls autonomous driving including automated parking. Interruption control of causing a vehicle to stop and setting a shift position in a neutral range to interrupt autonomous driving is executed when a shift operation is performed during autonomous driving. The shift position is set in a parking range and autonomous driving is ended, and then the power storage device is charged using power from the engine, when a storage ratio of the power storage device reaches less than a predetermined ratio during interruption of autonomous driving that is performed through the interruption control.

In a powertrain system including a first torque device and a second torque device having a larger response delay, a control device is configured to act as: a manipulated variable determination section that solves a linear programming problem to determine and output manipulated variables that maximally achieve target state quantities within a plurality of constraints; and a torque device control section. The plurality of constraints include, as upper and lower limit constraint values of the second manipulated variable, a maximum value and a minimum value of the second manipulated variable attainable at the next time step. The control device is further configured to act as a manipulated variable upper and lower limit calculation section that calculates, as the upper and lower limit constraint values, the above-described maximum value and the minimum value, based on the current rotational speed and estimated manipulated variable of the second torque device.

A controller for a hybrid electric vehicle including an internal combustion engine is provided. The internal combustion engine includes a filter arranged in an exhaust passage collect particulate matter from exhaust gas. The controller executes a first deceleration control process, a second deceleration control process, and a selection process. The first deceleration control process uses a fuel cutoff process when deceleration of the hybrid electric vehicle is required. The second deceleration control process does not use the fuel cutoff process when deceleration of the hybrid electric vehicle is required. The selection process selects execution of the second deceleration control process when a PM deposition amount is greater than or equal to a threshold value and selects execution of the first deceleration control process when the PM deposition amount is less than the threshold value.

A transmission includes an input assembly, an electric machine, a variator and a power shift assembly. The input assembly has directional clutches and is configured to receive rotational engine input power. The variator has only a single planetary set configured and combine to receive rotational input power from the electric machine and the input assembly. The power shift assembly is configured to receive rotational power from the variator, and it includes speed gears, range gears and power shift clutches and an output shaft. The power shift clutches are configured to dissipate energy from asynchronous gear meshing. The power shift assembly is configured to effect multiple different rotational power flows through to the output shaft that arise from meshing gears at each shift to effect a unique one of multiple gear ratios.

A control system for a hybrid vehicle configured to suppress a temperature rise in a transmission while achieving a required driving force without modifying a cooling system. If a temperature in the transmission is lower than a threshold level during propulsion in a hybrid mode, a controller operates an engine at an optimally fuel efficient point. If the temperature in the transmission system is equal to or higher than the threshold level during propulsion in a hybrid mode, the controller shifts the operating point of the engine to the point at which the heat generation in the transmission system can be suppressed.

When a speed difference between a maximum rotation speed and an engine rotation speed, that is, an actual rotation speed difference, is equal to or less than a margin rotation speed difference, an engine operating point is changed such that the actual rotation speed difference becomes greater than the margin rotation speed difference. Accordingly, the speed difference between the maximum rotation speed and the engine rotation speed is prevented from becoming equal to or less than the margin rotation speed difference. As a result, since a relatively sufficient margin is secured in the difference between the maximum rotation speed and the engine rotation speed, it is possible to prevent the engine rotation speed from falling into a high-rotation state in which the engine rotation speed exceeds the maximum rotation speed.

A travel control apparatus includes a processor programmed to detect a state of each of a plurality of power sources constituting a power source system, the power source system supplying power to the autonomous driving system, and set a fail operation mode corresponding to whether the detected state of each of the plurality of power source is a state configured to supply an amount of power necessary for a safety of autonomous driving.
