HYBRID MOTOR VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING HYBRID MOTOR VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A hybrid motor vehicle comprising:
- an internal combustion engine that outputs motive power for vehicle traction;
an engine-motoring electric motor that motors the internal combustion engine;
a vehicle traction electric motor that outputs motive power for vehicle traction;
a secondary cell that supplies electric power to the engine-motoring electric motor and to the vehicle traction electric motor; and
a pre-engine-start control device that controls the internal combustion engine and the engine-motoring electric motor so as to motor the internal combustion engine in a reverse rotation direction without performing fuel injection nor ignition during a post-system-start electric traction travel during which the hybrid motor vehicle is traveling on motive power from the vehicle traction electric motor without operating the internal combustion engine after a system of the hybrid motor vehicle is started.

Abstract
A hybrid motor vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine that outputs motive power for vehicle traction; an engine-motoring electric motor that motors the internal combustion engine; a vehicle traction electric motor that outputs motive power for vehicle traction; a secondary battery that supplies electric power to the engine-motoring electric motor and to the vehicle traction electric motor; and a pre-engine-start control device that controls the internal combustion engine and the engine-motoring electric motor so as to motor the internal combustion engine in a reverse rotation direction without performing fuel injection or ignition when the hybrid motor vehicle is traveling on motive power from the vehicle traction electric motor without operating the internal combustion engine, after a system of the hybrid motor vehicle is started.

10. A method of controlling a hybrid motor vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine that outputs motive power for vehicle traction, an engine-motoring electric motor that motors the internal combustion engine, a vehicle traction electric motor that outputs motive power for vehicle traction, and a secondary battery that supplies electric power to the engine-motoring electric motor and to the vehicle traction electric motor, the control method comprising:
controlling the internal combustion engine and the engine-motoring electric motor so as to motor the internal combustion engine in a reverse rotation direction without performing fuel injection nor ignition while the hybrid motor vehicle is traveling on motive power from the vehicle traction electric motor without operating the internal combustion engine after a system of the hybrid motor vehicle is started.
