Title:
HYBRID VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/070761
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle (1000) has first and second power sources, an instruction output section (80), a control line (81), and an ECU (30). The instruction output section (80) outputs a switching instruction (MD) for switching the mode of travel of the hybrid vehicle (1000) from a first mode in which the first power source is preferentially used for travel of the hybrid vehicle (1000) to a second mode in which the second power source is preferentially used for travel of the hybrid vehicle (1000). The control line (81) transmits the switching instruction (MD). The ECU (30) receives the switching instruction (MD) via the control line (81) to switch the mode of travel from the first mode to the second mode. When the ECU (30) does not receive the switching instruction for a predetermined time period from a reference time point at which the mode of travel is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the ECU (30) returns the mode of travel to the first mode from the second mode.
