Abstract

The goal is to improve the fuel consumption rate (hereinafter referred to as "fuel efficiency") of in-line hybrid vehicles and reduce vehicle operating costs. [Solution] The series hybrid system 100 includes an engine 101, a generator 102 connected to it, a battery 103 for charging the generator, and a motor 104 driven by the battery 103. A transmission 105 is provided on the power transmission path connecting the engine 101 and the generator 102. A control unit consisting of an ECU 106 and an actuator 107 controls the engine 101 and the transmission 105 so that the rotational speed of the engine 101 is maintained within a predetermined range and the power generation efficiency of the generator 102 is increased.
