A vehicle includes an engine, a generator driven by the engine to generate an electric power, and a high-voltage battery charged with the electric power. An air heating in a vehicle interior is implemented by waste heat of the engine through which a heat medium is circulated and heated, and an air heating in the vehicle interior is implemented by a heat pump device consuming the electric power of the electric storage device. A hybrid ECU performs air conditioning control, and includes a determination device that determines whether to implement the air heating by the waste heat or the air heating by the heat pump device based on an engine body temperature, and a heating control device that selectively implements the air heating by the waste heat and the air heating by the heat pump device based on a determination result of the determination device.

A hybrid driveline assembly that includes a mode clutch, a driving member and a mode clutch shift fork is provided.

A motor driven gear configured to receive power of the motor is disposed on the motor power distribution shaft.

An apparatus for controlling a driving mode of a hybrid vehicle and a method thereof are provided in which a specific cell, which constitutes a battery, is prevented from being overdischarged by adjusting a switching time point of a driving mode (an electric vehicle (EV) mode or a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) mode) based on a cell voltage change of the battery mounted in the hybrid electric vehicle. The apparatus for controlling the driving mode of the hybrid vehicle includes a battery including a plurality of cells, a voltage sensor to measure voltages of the cells in the battery, and a controller to control a switching time point from the EV mode to the HEV mode based on the voltages of the cells in the battery, as measured by the voltage sensor.

An apparatus for controlling engine idling of a hybrid electric vehicle having an engine, an electric motor and a driving motor includes: an engine target speed determination part to determine an engine target speed when an engine idle speed control is requested; an engine target torque determination part to determine an engine target torque when the engine idle speed control is requested; a speed control part to determine a control torque for maintaining an engine speed at a predetermined speed based on a difference value between the engine target speed and an engine actual speed; a power split part to determine an output torque of the electric motor and an engine compensation torque of the engine based the control torque; and a final engine torque determination part to sum the engine compensation torque and the engine target torque to determine a final engine torque.

Connecting section for a two-part hub that support a driven shaft of a hybrid drive module having a first hub section and a second hub section. The connecting section can be arranged coaxially with the first hub section and the second hub section and can be arranged between the first hub section and the second hub section. The connecting section is designed as a sliding bearing.

Systems and methods for operating a hybrid powertrain that includes an engine and a motor/generator are described. The systems and methods adjust torque converter clutch opening responsive to whether or not a motor/generator is available to provide a negative torque to a driveline. Further, the motor/generator and the vehicle's engine are operated to provide a desired amount of driveline braking.

A clutch assembly for the powertrain of a motor vehicle, including a housing, a support which is supported in a rotatable manner relative to the housing, an electric machine, the rotor of which is received on the support in a rotationally fixed manner, multiple clutches, each having a clutch component that is received on the support in a rotationally fixed manner, and at least one slave cylinder which acts on one clutch in an actuating manner. A first support bearing which forms part of the mounting of the support is arranged directly between the support and the housing, and an additional second support bearing is arranged at a distance from the first support bearing along a rotational axis of the support. A drive unit including the clutch assembly is also provided.

The control device for a hybrid vehicle includes: a mechanical power source; an electric motor to be used when the mechanical power source is started; a first clutch arranged between the mechanical power source and a first transmission mechanism including a plurality of gear shift stages; a second clutch arranged between the mechanical power source and a second transmission mechanism including a plurality of gear shift stages; an electrical power source coupled to an input shaft of the first transmission mechanism; and a control unit for controlling a torque of at least one of the second clutch or the electric motor so as to compensate a braking force decreased upon a gear shift in the electrical power source when a gear shift request for shifting the gear shift stage of the first transmission mechanism is made during a regeneration travel of the electrical power source.
