Claims
- 1. A controller for a hybrid vehicle in which the torque is output from an engine and/or an electric motor and is transmitted to drive wheels through a fluid torque converter and a transmission, said controller including a motor output torque limiter to restrict the output torque from said electric motor such that the torque increased by said fluid torque converter does not exceed a permissible input torque which is acceptable for said transmission to receive when said electric motor in addition to said engine is driven.
- 2. The controller for the hybrid vehicle as defined in claim 1, wherein said motor output torque limiter includes a basic output torque calculating section, an output torque reduce correction coefficient calculating section, and an output torque calculating section, wherein said basic output torque calculating section calculates a basic output torque of said electric motor, said output torque reduce correction coefficient calculating section calculates the correction coefficient for output torque reduction based on the turbine rotational speed of said fluid torque converter, and said output torque calculating section calculates output torque by correcting said basic output torque by said correction coefficient for output torque reduction.
