Abstract

A hybrid vehicle () includes a voltage step-up device (). The voltage step-up device () is provided between driving devices () and an electrical storage device (), and steps up input voltages of the driving devices () to a voltage of the electrical storage device () or above. An HV-ECU () determines whether it is possible to reduce a CO2 emissions for a predetermined travel route by increasing the voltage of the electrical storage device (). Then, when it is determined that it is possible to reduce the CO2 emissions, the HV-ECU () controls an SOC of the electrical storage device () so as to increase the SOC at a start of the travel route.
