Abstract
An engine includes a dynamo-electric machine which generates electricity by the rotation of the engine; a secondary battery which stores electricity generated by the dynamo-electric machine; an electric supercharger including an electric compressor for supercharging intake air into combustion chambers; and a mechanical supercharger including an exhaust turbine configured to be driven by exhaust gas in the exhaust passage, and a mechanical compressor configured to supercharge intake air into the combustion chamber. An ECU () includes a remaining charge detector for detecting the remaining amount of charge of the secondary battery; and a supercharge control means for adjusting the ratio between a supercharging pressure by the electric supercharger and a supercharging pressure by the mechanical supercharger according to the remaining amount of charge of the secondary battery.
