Zusammenfassung:A control system for hybrid vehicles that ensures high motor power while limiting damage on a planetary gear unit is provided. In a planetary gear unit, a sun gear is connected to a first motor, a ring gear is connected to a second motor, and a carrier is connected to an engine. An operating mode of the hybrid vehicle can be selected from a hybrid mode, a single-motor mode, and a dual-motor mode. The control system is configured to shift the operating mode to the hybrid mode if an estimated temperature of the pinion gear is higher than a threshold temperature, and to the single-motor mode if the estimated temperature of the pinion gear is lower than a threshold temperature.
