Abstract
It is provided a control device of a vehicle drive apparatus in a vehicle including an electric motor for driving drive wheels, the control device controlling an output torque of the electric motor in accordance with a predetermined electric motor torque control characteristic making the output torque of the electric motor larger when a requested drive force is greater such that a drive force of the vehicle becomes equal to the requested drive force requested by a driver, wherein when the stopped vehicle is started, if the requested drive force is equal to or less than a requested drive force judgment value set equal to or less than a necessary start-up drive force necessary for start-up of the vehicle, the control device provides electric motor torque suppression control suppressing the output torque of the electric motor below an output torque determined from the electric motor torque control characteristic.
