Abstract

In a vehicle, a first rotating electrical machine, is connected to first wheels via a clutch, and second rotating electrical machines are connected to second wheels or the first wheels without going through the clutch. A power control device allocates electric power to the second rotating electrical machines with higher priority over the first rotating electrical machine when adding additional power to power of an internal combustion engine, thereby generating power of the second rotating electrical machines with higher priority over power of the first rotating electrical machine.
