Patent attributes
A hybrid vehicle control apparatus is provided with a motor/generator arranged between an engine and a transmission, a first clutch disposed between the engine and the motor/generator, a second clutch disposed in a power train spanning from the motor/generator to a drive wheel, and a controller. The controller controls the engagement of the first and second clutches to select either an electric drive mode or a hybrid drive mode. The controller executes a rotational speed control of the motor/generator while in a coasting state with torque being transmitted through a one-way clutch of the transmission such that the rotational speed control increases an input rotational speed of the one-way clutch to a value closer to an output rotational speed of the one-way clutch with a difference between the input and output rotational speeds of the one-way clutch becoming equal to a target value.
