A drive control device is applicable to a vehicle including a first motor which drives a first wheel and a second motor which drives a second wheel. The drive control device includes a sensor, a torque setting section, an anomaly detection section, and an information output section. The sensor detects information about the drive control device. The torque setting section sets upper limit values of torques that can be generated by the first motor and the second motor based on the information detected by the sensor. The anomaly detection section detects an anomaly in the drive control device. In response to the anomaly detection section detecting the anomaly, the information output section outputs, to the torque setting section, setting information that sets the upper limit values of the torques of the first motor and the second motor to a common predetermined value, as the information.

A drivability target engine speed is set based on a shift stage based on an accelerator opening level and a vehicle speed and the vehicle speed, and a base driving force is set based on an accelerator required driving force and the drivability target engine speed. When an elapsed time after an accelerator depression amount increases is less than a threshold value, a correction driving force is set based on an increase in accelerator depression amount and an engine, a first motor, and a second motor are controlled such that an effective driving force obtained by adding the correction driving force to the base driving force is output to a drive shaft for a hybrid vehicle to travel.

Systems and apparatuses include a controller structured to: receive information indicative of an operating condition of a vehicle subsystem, receive information indicative of an external static condition, and receive information indicative of an external dynamic condition. The system is further configured to predict a fuel cut event based on at least one of the operating condition of the vehicle subsystem, the external static condition, and the external dynamic condition. Responsive to predicting a fuel cut event, the controller is structured to modulate at least one of a torque or a speed of the engine based on the operating condition of the vehicle subsystem and at least one of the information indicative of the external static condition and the external dynamic condition.

A hybrid propulsion system for a vehicle includes an internal combustion engine (ICE), a fuel cell, a hydrogen storage tank, a battery pack, an electric drive motor and a controller. The ICE has a first output that drives a generator, the generator providing a first output voltage. The fuel cell has a second output providing a second output voltage. The hydrogen storage tank is configured to store hydrogen and selectively and alternatively supply the hydrogen to both of the ICE and the fuel cell. The battery pack selectively and alternatively receives the first and second output voltage to charge the battery pack. The controller receives vehicle inputs and determines operational set points of the ICE and the fuel cell representative of an amount of the first and second output voltage to direct to the battery pack based on operating conditions.

A computer system is provided. Processing circuitry is configured to determine at least one vehicle system being in an active mode, said at least one vehicle system building up a need for conditioning when in the active mode and/or in an inactive mode, determine that no request for usage of the at least one vehicle system is present, thereby triggering a request for shut down of said at least one vehicle system, determine a need for conditioning of said at least one vehicle system, delay shut down of said at least one vehicle system, and initiate conditioning of said at least one vehicle system.
