Patent ID: 8371413

Claim:
A control device for a power transmitting device for a four-wheel drive hybrid-vehicle having a drive source, a power distributing mechanism for distributing a drive force of the drive source to a first electric motor and a transmitting shaft, a central differential device connected to the transmitting shaft to distribute the drive force from the transmitting shaft to a first drive-wheel-side output shaft and a second drive-wheel -side output shaft, and a second electric motor connected to the second drive-wheel-side output shaft to transmit a power thereto, the control device comprising: a drive force control portion programmed to execute a control such that, under a circumstance where the first and second electric motors execute electric-power generation controls, an output torque of second drive wheels is a positive torque, whereby both the output torque of the second drive wheels and an output torque of first drive wheels are oriented in a same direction.
