Abstract

In a vehicle () comprising a first rotating electric machine () that serves as a driving source for running the vehicle () and that exchanges electric power with a battery (), and an engine () that serves as the driving source, a first connecting/disconnecting mechanism () is disposed on a first power transmission path from the first rotating electric machine () to a driving wheel, and a second connecting/disconnecting mechanism () is disposed on a second power transmission path from the engine () to the driving wheel. A first running mode in which the vehicle () is driven by power of the engine () in a state where the second connecting/disconnecting mechanism () is engaged, and another running mode in which the first connecting/disconnecting mechanism () is engaged and the second connecting/disconnecting mechanism () is disengaged are set for the vehicle (). A control unit () includes: a connecting/disconnecting mechanism controller (D) that disengages the first connecting/disconnecting mechanism () when a predetermined condition is satisfied during the first running mode; and a rotating electric machine controller (E) that variably controls a standby rotation speed (Nw) of the first rotating electric machine () when the first connecting/disconnecting mechanism () is disengaged.
