Abstract:
A hybrid motive power vehicle comprising an electric motor and an internal combustion engine, wherein during a constant speed running and an acceleration, at least one of the power sources is operated so that its drive force is transmitted to driving wheels via a power train system common to the electric motor and the internal combustion engine, and during a speed reduction using a rotation resistance of the power source as a load, rotation of the driving wheels is transmitted via the power train system to the electric motor so as to rotate the electric motor to perform a regenerative power generation,the vehicle further comprising a buffer clutch adjustable in connection force in the power train system and a buffer clutch control device for maintaining the connection force of the buffer clutch in a half-clutch state while the speed reduction is performed.
