A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, an electric machine, a traction battery electrically connected to the electric machine, and a controller. The controller is programmed to, in response to the vehicle approaching a decline, overrepresent a state of charge (SOC) of the traction battery to cause a torque command to the engine to decrease and a torque command to the electric machine to increase such that discharge of the traction battery increases in advance of the decline.

Provided are a hybrid power vehicle range extender power following control method and system. The method includes: when a vehicle satisfies range extender power closed-loop control conditions, an actual charge-discharge power of a power battery and a charge-discharge power expectation value of the power battery are taken as control errors to adjust a total range extender electric power requirement, an engine torque requirement is calculated according to the total range extender electric power requirement, and an engine is controlled to perform the engine torque requirement; and when it is detected that a drive motor electric power suddenly changes and/or a load power suddenly changes, engine quick torque control is activated, and an engine quick torque requirement is taken as a feed-forward value of a generator speed setting controller to control a generator.

A power management system includes a sensor interface that receives sensor data samples during operation of a vehicle. A storage device stores the sensor data samples for multiple points in time along a route segment traveled by the vehicle. One or more processors analyze the sensor data samples to detect a historical pattern of the vehicle. The one or more processors determine time efficient operational parameters for the vehicle in response to a destination and an estimated travel time to the destination. The estimated travel time may be based on predicted conditions of the vehicle indicated by the historical pattern. The time efficient operational parameters may be selected to decrease the estimated travel time. At least one of the sensor data samples may include telemetry data.

A vehicle vibration control device includes: a motor generator connected via a motor shaft to a power transmission path between a crankshaft of an engine and a drive axle that transmits a drive torque to a tire; and a motor generator control portion executing control of an output torque which is actually output by the motor generator. The motor generator control portion includes a damper torque calculation section that acquires information on a crank angle and a motor angle to calculate a damper torque generated by a damper, an explosion cycle calculation section, a reverse phase torque calculation section, a delay time calculation section, a compensation time calculation section, a first compensation time calculation section, a torque correction amount calculation section, and a command output section.

A hybrid vehicle includes a multi-cylinder engine, an exhaust gas control apparatus, an electric motor, an electricity storage device, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the electric motor so as to cover a driving power shortage resulting from execution of catalyst temperature raising control. The catalyst temperature raising control is control that involves stopping fuel supply to at least one of cylinders of the multi-cylinder engine and enriching air-fuel ratios for the other cylinders than the at least one cylinder.

A drive force control part 5 controls a drive force such that a force caused by a change in the drive force to rearwardly tilt a drive source 1 and push a mount member is made smaller than an external force threshold value. In a first region in which the drive force is equal to or above a predetermined lower limit value, the drive force control part 5 limits a change rate per unit time of the drive force to or below a predetermined maximum rate, and in a second region in which the drive force is smaller than the lower limit value, does not limit the change rate per unit time of the drive force to or below the maximum rate.

A control system for a hybrid vehicle that can reduce a power loss resulting from shifting an operating mode from motor mode to hybrid mode is provided. A transmission that is adapted to distribute torque applied to an input element to a reaction element and an output element, and to change a ratio between a first torque delivered to the reaction element and a second torque delivered to the output element. A controller is configured to start an engine in a high mode in which a torque ratio of the output element to the input element is small if the vehicle speed is higher than a threshold value, and to start the engine in a low mode in which the torque ratio is greater if the vehicle speed is lower than the threshold value.

A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, controlling a power supply system to avoid an over-voltage event across one or more switching devices of the power supply system, the controlling step based on switching overlap information that includes instructions for either advancing or retarding a switching signal associated with at least one of the switching devices.

A vehicle drive apparatus includes: an engine; a rotary machine; an output member coupled to a drive wheel of a vehicle; a differential mechanism configured to couple the engine, the rotary machine, and the output member together to be differentially rotatable via a plurality of differentially rotatable rotational elements; and an elastic member configured to couple a rotation shaft of the rotary machine to the rotational element of the differential mechanism to be relatively rotatable.

A control unit embedded in a work vehicle includes a clutch controlling unit and a motor controlling unit. The clutch controlling unit is configured to disengage a first clutch in a condition that the first clutch is engaged and a second clutch is disengaged, when a first moving direction inputted through a forward/rearward movement switch operating device as an instruction of the operator and a second moving direction determined based on a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed detecting unit are different from each other, and in addition, when and the vehicle speed falls in a preliminarily set first range. The motor controlling unit is configured to control a motor to reduce a relative rotational speed of the second clutch after the first clutch is disengaged.
