Abstract
It is provided a power transmitting apparatus for a vehicle that is disposed in a power transmission path between an engine and driving wheels and that has an electric differential portion whose differential state between an input rotation speed and an output rotation speed is controlled by controlling a driving state through an electric motor coupled to a rotating element of the differential portion, wherein for varying the output rotation speed of the electric differential portion, at a predetermined time point, an amount of divergence between an actual rotation speed and a target rotation speed of the engine is calculated and the target rotation speed of the engine is set such that the amount of divergence converges at a predetermined slope and the convergence of the amount of divergence is delayed compared to that without any control.
