Abstract
The control device of the present invention causes an engine to perform both partial cylinder operation and also all-cylinder operation, and moreover changes the operating point of the engine when the motor torque of a second motor-generator enters into operating point changeover ranges Rand R. The operating point changeover range Rwhen the engine is performing partial cylinder operation is set to be wider, as compared to the operating point changeover range Rwhen the engine is performing all-cylinder operation.
