Abstract:
A parallel hybrid vehicle comprising:an engine; a motor generator having both functions of a generator and a motor; a transmission; a torque combining mechanism combining an output torque of said engine and an output torque of said motor generator by a planetary gear mechanism for outputting torque; control means for controlling output torque of said motor generator and rotating condition; and an electromagnetic two-way clutch mechanism selectively controlling engaging and disengaging between respective elements of said planetary gear mechanism, wherein said planetary gear mechanism of said torque combining mechanism and said motor generator are separated by a partitioning wall coupled with said transmission, said partitioning wall being reduced in diameter at an end portion on the side of said motor generator, an electromagnet of said electromagnetic two-way clutch is arranged on an inside of the diameter reduced end portion of said partitioning wall.
