Abstract

A controller for a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes an engine, a rotary machine, at least one driving wheel, a first clutch disposed between a power transmission member and the rotary machine, the power transmission member being disposed between the engine and the driving wheel, the first clutch being configured to be switched to an engaged state or a disengaged state, and a second clutch disposed in parallel with the first clutch, the second clutch being a one-way clutch. The controller includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to control at least one of the rotary machine or the first clutch so as to reduce inertia of the power transmission member based on a torsional load acting on the power transmission member.
