A hybrid transmission for a hybrid vehicle mounting thereon an engine and
a pair of electric motor/generators operates in a plurality of driving
modes including EV mode in which the vehicle is powered by only the pair
of motor/generators and EIVT mode in which the vehicle is powered by both
the pair of motor/generators and the engine. The driving mode is shifted
continuously and smoothly through a mode-shift transition process, in
which the operating state is regulated to decrease the relative torque
and/or the relative rotational speed between the contact elements of an
engine clutch before engaging or disengaging the engine clutch.
