Abstract
A control apparatus for a vehicle includes an engine, first and second electric motors, an output shaft connected to a drive wheel 41, a differential gear device, the gear elements of which are connected to the engine, the first and second electric motors, and the output shaft, respectively, target output torque setting means for setting target output torque, control torque calculating means for setting a target output torque, and torque control means for controlling a torque in accordance with the control torque. The control torque calculating means includes engine non-rotational state forming means for bringing the engine into a non-rotational state. Since the electric motor torque can be controlled independently, the target output torque can easily be generated, allowing easy generation of a target output torque in the state where the engine is stopped as well as preventing the output torque loss.
