Abstract
A control device for a hybrid electric vehicle is configured to perform drive assistance control that causes the hybrid electric vehicle to travel based on a drive assistance plan in which a motor drive mode or a normal drive mode is assigned to each of travel sections of a travel route using information on the travel sections, the travel route being a planned or estimated travel route based on map information and the location of the hybrid electric vehicle. When the travel sections of the travel route include a specific travel section having a motor-driving designated point, the control device divides the specific travel section into two travel sections at the motor-driving designated point based on a predetermined condition and performs the drive assistance control, the motor-driving designated point being a point at which the hybrid electric vehicle is supposed to arrive by motor driving.
