A power transmission control device for vehicle controls switching between a speed increasing mode and a constant speed mode on the basis of electrical load, battery or the like, and shock due to switching is less. The power transmission control device includes: an electric rotating machine; a crank pulley; a planetary gear mechanism consisting of a sun gear, a planetary gearand an internal gear; and controllerfor controlling an electromagnetic clutch. The electromagnetic clutchis ON to operate the planetary gear mechanism as a speed increasing mechanism and drive the electric rotating machineat an increasing speed, when engine speed of the internal combustion engineis not higher than a predetermined value, remaining capacity of the batteryis not more than a predetermined level or electrical load is in a high-load state.
