Abstract:
A control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle comprising: an engine for outputting a propulsion force for a vehicle, a motor for assisting the output from said engine depending on the driving conditions of said vehicle, and a storage unit for storing generated energy when said motor is used as a generator under the output from said engine, and regenerated energy obtained from regeneration of said motor at the time of vehicle deceleration, comprising:a remaining charge computing device for computing the remaining charge of said storage unit, a speed detector for detecting the speed of said vehicle, a regeneration amount setting device for setting the amount to be regenerated from said motor, and a regeneration amount reduction device for, at the time of reducing the speed of said vehicle when a degree of throttle opening of said vehicle is fully closed state, or fuel supply to said engine is stopped, in the case where said remaining charge is computed by said remaining charge computing device to be greater than or equal to a predetermined remaining charge, and said speed is detected by said speed detector to be greater than or equal to a predetermined speed, multiplying said amount to be regenerated by a predetermined reduction coefficient.
