Abstract

An electronic control unit of a hybrid vehicle controls an engine and an inverter to execute inverterless traveling. The inverterless traveling is a traveling state where the inverter is set to a gate blocking state, and where a reaction force of a torque that is output by a rotating electric device when the rotating electric device to be rotated by output of the engine generates electric power is applied to an output shaft. The electronic control unit controls a converter to adjust a voltage of an electric power line to a predetermined maximum voltage or a voltage within a predetermined range from the maximum voltage when a shift range of the hybrid vehicle is switched to a non-forward range from a forward range during the inverterless traveling.
