Patent ID: 7017348

Claim:
A control device for a hybrid vehicle, the hybrid vehicle including a motor, connected to an engine output shaft, to which an engine output is transmitted, and an automatic transmission, the automatic transmission including an input shaft, connected to the engine output shaft, and an output shaft, connected to a driving wheel, the control device comprising: a request output detection unit that detects a driver's requested output; an engine control unit that controls the engine output; a motor control unit that controls motor output so that total output of the motor output and the engine output becomes the driver's requested output; and a limitation request output unit that, when the driver's requested output is larger than input-available driving force to the input shaft of the automatic transmission, outputs a limitation request to limit the total output to a limitation output, which is smaller than or equal to the input-available driving force, wherein the motor control unit, when the limitation request is output by the limitation request output unit, controls the motor output so that the total output of the motor output and the engine output becomes the limitation output.
