Abstract
A control apparatus applied to a hybrid vehicle of the invention executes a regeneration control for charging a battery with electricity generated by a motor generator while applying regeneration braking force to the vehicle from the motor generator. The apparatus executes an enlarged regeneration control for charging the battery with the electricity generated by the motor generator while applying increased regeneration braking force to the vehicle from the motor generator when a target deceleration end position is set. The apparatus executes a control for controlling a vehicle speed to a speed equal to or smaller than an upper limit speed when a control execution request is generated. The apparatus forbids the enlarged regeneration control when the control execution request is generated and the vehicle speed is equal to or larger than a threshold vehicle speed smaller than the upper limit speed.
