Patent 10889289 was granted and assigned to Honda on January, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A vehicle is equipped with a torque sensor configured to detect a torque, and which is disposed on a second transmission path connecting a first rotary electric machine and a first branch point on a first transmission path. When a first switching device is placed in a connected state and a vehicle wheel is driven by an internal combustion engine, a control device causes an inverted phase torque, which is opposite in phase to a detected torque detected by the torque sensor, to be generated in the first rotary electric machine.
