Abstract
When a collision of a vehicle is detected, a control device performs fuel cut of an engine () in a case where the engine () is in a driven state, and engages an engine connection/disconnection clutch (K) in a case where the engine connection/disconnection clutch (K) is disengaged, whereby the rotational resistance of a motor (MG) is increased by drag of the engine () and the rotation speed (Nmg) of the motor (MG) after the collision of the vehicle can be speedily reduced. Consequently, generation of an electromotive force by rotation of the motor (MG) is prevented, and it is possible to speedily complete discharge of an inverter circuit ().
