PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for releasing heat from a hybrid vehicle thereby to improve the fuel consumption.SOLUTION: A control device for a hybrid vehicle computes a travel route to a destination, and predicts an engine operation continuation time period after an engine starts, on the basis of the travel route computed. At a starting time of the engine, moreover, in the case where a predicted engine operation continuation time period is longer than a predetermined time period, the hot water stored in a heat accumulator 12 is fed to a cooling water circulation passage, in which engine cooling water circulates.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
