Abstract
A vehicle () has mounted therein an engine (), a first rotating electric machine (), and a second rotating electric machine (). The power of the engine () and the power of the first rotating electric machine () are separately transmitted from different power transmission paths () to drive wheels (). The power of the engine () is also transmitted to the second rotating electric machine () and utilized to generate electrical power. The vehicle () is provided with a connecting/disconnecting mechanism () on the power transmission path () that transmits the power of the first rotating electric machine () to the drive wheels (). A controller () of the vehicle () calculates a requested driving power of the vehicle (), and when the connecting/disconnecting mechanism () is shifted from a disengaged state to an engaged state to deal with an increase in the requested driving power while the engine () is running, makes the second rotating electric machine () power run and transmits power of the second rotating electric machine () to the drive wheels ().
