Abstract

A hybrid vehicle control device is provided that is capable of controlling a drive source according to a travel plan. The hybrid vehicle control device is configured to be mounted in a hybrid vehicle including a drive source having an engine and a motor/generator, and a navigation system that acquires travel environment information of a planned travel route. The control device is configured such that, upon selection of a 'travel plan mode', which controls the drive source according to a travel plan set for low fuel travel based on travel environment information acquired from the navigation system in the absence of the selection of an 'eco-mode', which controls the drive source to prioritize fuel efficiency over power performance, the selection of the “travel plan mode” is linked with a setting operation for the “eco-mode”.
