(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To reduce the size, weight and cost of a vehicle by enabling the use of a low-output motor. A rotating shaft of a motor is connected to a driving wheel of a vehicle via a first clutch, and a crank shaft of an engine is connected to a rotating shaft of the motor via a second clutch. In addition to the above, the vehicle is provided with a vehicle speed detecting means for detecting the speed of the vehicle, a rotational speed detecting means for detecting the rotational speed of the engine, and a control means. The control means engages the first clutch 3 and disconnects the second clutch 5 during deceleration to regenerate energy by the motor 1, and when accelerating from this state, disconnects the first clutch 3 1 to reduce the number of rotations of the engine 4 to the number of rotations of the engine 4, connect the second clutch 5, operate the motor 1 to rotate the engine 4, When the engine 4 reaches the rotation speed corresponding to the vehicle speed, the first The control for connecting the clutch 3 is performed. |
