HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18172320 titled 'HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a hybrid electric vehicle that includes an engine, two electric motors, an electric power storage device, and a control device.
- The control device is responsible for managing the engine and the first electric motor to operate the engine at a specific speed and torque.
- The control device also manages the second electric motor to generate a driving force based on the required driving force.
- This control system is particularly useful during rapid catalyst warm-up when the engine is idle off.
Original Abstract Submitted
Hybrid electric vehicle includes an engine, a first electric motor, a second electric motor, an electric power storage device, and a control device. The control device is configured to control the engine and the first electric motor so that the engine is operated at a first predetermined engine speed while outputting a predetermined torque, and to control the second electric motor so that a driving force based on a required driving force is output, when the rapid catalyst warm-up is executed when the engine is idle off.
