Abstract
A power control ECU controls electric power and engine power of a hybrid vehicle. The power control ECU includes a request driving force calculating portion that calculates a request driving force calculated in accordance with an accelerator operation amount, a travel driving force calculating portion that calculates a travel driving force as a value that belatedly follows the request driving force, and a dashpot control processing portion. The dashpot control processing portion sets a value of the request driving force as a value of a final request driving force used to calculate request engine power when a difference of the request driving force with respect to the travel driving force is less than a predetermined positive value, and sets a value that belatedly follows the request driving force when the difference is greater than or equal to the predetermined positive value.
