Abstract:
1. A control device for a vehicular power transmitting device, wherein: the vehicular power transmitting device comprises a shifting portion forming part of a power transmitting path between a drive-force source and drive wheels, an electric motor connected to the shifting portion at an input side thereof, and regeneration control means operative to cause the electric motor to generate electric power during a vehicle running under a decelerating state; the control device includes shifting-point altering means operative to alter, when the electric motor is operated with priority for a charging and/or electric power generation, a shifting point for the vehicle running under a decelerating state to a point on a higher vehicle speed than that at which a shifting point for a running-performance conscious state is set; the regeneration control means increases regeneration amount of the electric motor based on determining results of charge capacity determining means determining charge capacity of a battery, electric drive-mode determining means determining a drive-mode of the vehicle, and electrical load determining means determining an electric load of the vehicle; and the regeneration control means increases the regeneration amount of a second electric motor when at least one of the charge capacity determining means, the electric drive-mode determining means and the electrical load determining means makes a positive determination.
