The apparatus includes a hitch angle calculator configured to calculate a desired hitch angle based on a steering angle and a speed of the articulated vehicle, an error calculator configured to calculate an error between the desired hitch angle and an actual hitch angle of the articulated vehicle, a moment generator configured to generate a moment for controlling the articulation of the articulated vehicle based on the error, and an articulation controller configured to control the articulation of the articulated vehicle based on the moment.

A method of determining an equivalence energy factor representing weighting applied between an infeed of energy of thermal origin and an infeed of energy of electrical origin, to minimize on an operating point overall energy consumption of a hybrid motor propulsion plant for an automotive vehicle including a heat engine and at least one electric motor powered by a battery. This factor is controlled in a discrete manner as a function of an instantaneous state of energy of the battery, and of an energy target, and as a function of the vehicle running conditions.

A vehicle control apparatus includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to perform feedback control of a motor such that a torque is output for stopping a crankshaft at a target angle. A first angle is used as the target angle during a first period from start of the feedback control to first detection of rotation of the crankshaft in a negative rotational direction for returning the crank angle. A second angle is used as the target angle during a second period from the lapse of the first period to detection of a changeover in a rotational direction of the crankshaft from the negative to a positive rotational direction. The electronic control unit is configured to return the target angle to the first angle at a first timing after the lapse of the second period.

A control method of a hybrid vehicle may include performing a series of commands by a control portion including determining whether an accelerator pedal change amount detected by an accelerator pedal sensor is greater than a predetermined value, starting up an engine through a Hybrid Shaft Generator (HSG) during conversion into an HEV mode from an EV mode, controlling the engine to output constant torque, and synchronizing engine torque with motor torque to engage a clutch.

A method for starting a combustion engine of a hybrid motor vehicle drivetrain, in which there is a connection clutch interposed between the combustion engine and the electric motor for transmitting a torque between the combustion engine and the electric motor, and a main clutch interposed between the gearbox and the electric motor. From an initial state in which the electric motor generates a drive torque and the combustion engine is stopped, the main clutch is kept in a closed state so as to transmit the torque generated by the electric motor to the gearbox, and the connection clutch is controlled so as to transmit a drive torque between the electric motor and the combustion engine and perform a torque-limiting function between the combustion engine and the electric motor in order to limit the transmission of acyclisms between the combustion engine and the electric motor.
