Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a first motor, a second motor, a first planetary gear mechanism, a second planetary gear mechanism, a battery, and an electronic control unit. The first planetary gear mechanism includes a first rotating element, a second rotating element, and a third rotating element. The internal combustion engine is coupled to the second rotating element. The second planetary gear mechanism includes a fourth rotating element, a fifth rotating element, and a sixth rotating element. A brake is connected to the fifth rotating element. The electronic control unit is configured to turn on the brake at a time of high-vehicle-speed ignition-off of the hybrid vehicle such that the fifth rotating element is in a rotation stop state. The high-vehicle-speed ignition-off is that an ignition is off while the hybrid vehicle is traveling at a predetermined vehicle speed or higher while operating the internal combustion engine.
