Patent attributes
A hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a first motor, a planetary, the first motor, and a drive shaft, such that the first motor, the engine, and the drive shaft are arranged in this order in a collinear diagram, a second motor configured to be connected to the drive shaft, a power storage device configured to exchange an electric power with the first motor and the second motor. A braking force is applied to a vehicle by motoring the engine, in which fuel injection is stopped, by the first motor and/or regenerative driving of the second motor, when an accelerator is not operated. Motoring of the engine, in which fuel injection is stopped, by the first motor is limited, in a case where a deposition amount of particulate matter deposited on the filter is equal to or higher than a predetermined amount, when an accelerator is not operated.
