Abstract

Provided is a vehicle control apparatus. To start an engine by a motor-generator under the state that a vehicle is stopped, the vehicle control apparatus synchronizes a rotation of the engine with a rotation of the motor-generator at a synchronous rotational speed lower than a target rotational speed to start the engine, and increases a rotational speed of the engine by the motor-generator from the synchronous rotational to the target rotational speed, and starts the engine at the target rotational speed.
