Abstract

In a parallel hybrid vehicle, a controlling section controls an engine and a motor/generator, a torque from the engine and the motor/generator being transmitted to driven wheels via a transmission and a drive shaft. The controlling section comprises: an engine torque calculating section that calculates an engine torque and a torsional vibration suppression torque calculating section that calculates a torsional vibration suppression torque to suppress a torsional vibration developed on the drive shaft according to the engine torque calculated by the engine torque calculating section, the torsional vibration suppression torque calculated by the torsional vibration suppression torque calculating section being outputted from the motor/generator.
