Abstract

An electric motor-generator controller () is configured to control a left electric power of the left electric motor-generator (A) and a right electric power of the right electric motor-generator (B), based on the sum of the left electric power and the right electric power, wherein the left electric power is defined as an electric power generated or consumed by the left electric motor-generator (A) and, the right electric power is defined as an electric power generated or consumed by the right electric motor-generator (B). The electric motor-generator controller () control the left electric power of the left electric motor-generator and the right electric power of the right electric motor-generator such that the sum of the left electric power and the right electric power becomes a constant value, when the rotation restrictor controller () controls the rotation restrictor (A,B) such that the rotation restrictor releases the third rotation elements.
