Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  F | IPC B  F

Claim 0:
1. A vehicle drive device, comprising:
a power source including a first rotating electrical machine (MG2);
a second rotating electrical machine (MGF);
a first output shaft (63) connected to the power source (MG2) and configured to output power to one of a front wheel (front wheel 3) and a rear wheel (rear wheel 4);
a second output shaft (62) configured to output power to another of the front wheel (front wheel 3) and the rear wheel (rear wheel 4);
a planetary gear (64) including a ring gear (R3) connected to the first output shaft (63), a carrier (CA3) connected to the second output shaft (62), and a sun gear (S3) connected to the second rotating electrical machine (MGF); and
a processor and memory programmed to regeneratively control the first rotating electrical machine and the second rotating electrical machine in such a manner that negative torque is applied to the first output shaft and the second output shaft, when performing regenerative control of the second rotating electrical machine in a drive mode in which torque from the power source is distributed to the first output shaft and the second output shaft by controlling torque of the second rotating electrical machine during deceleration of a vehicle equipped with the vehicle drive device.
