Abstract

There is provided a drive system for a vehicle. The system includes: an internal combustion engine (ENG); a transmission mechanism (TM) a one-way clutch (OWC); a rotated driving member (11); an electric motor (MG1) that rotates the output shaft of the internal combustion engine; an electric motor generator (MG2) that transmits the rotational power to the rotated driving member and performs regenerative operation by receiving the rotational power output from the rotated driving member; and a controller (50) configured to cut off a fuel supply to the internal combustion engine and control the electric motor to rotate the output shaft of the internal combustion engine while the electric motor generator performs the regenerative operation.
