1. A vehicle drive device having an engine, a first electric motor, and a second electric motor comprising:
a first planetary gear device including a first sun gear, a first ring gear, and a first carrier coupled to the engine; and a second planetary gear device including a second sun gear, a second ring gear, and a second carrier coupled to drive wheels, one first planetary gear device constituent member of the first sun gear and the first ring gear being coupled to only the first electric motor, the other first planetary gear device constituent member of the first sun gear and the first ring gear being coupled to one second planetary gear device constituent member of the second sun gear and the second ring gear, the other second planetary gear device constituent member of the second sun gear and the second ring gear being coupled to the second electric motor, a brake suppressing rotation of the other first planetary gear device constituent member and rotation of the one second planetary gear device constituent member, and a control device making the other first planetary gear device constituent member and the one second planetary gear device constituent member non-rotatable by the brake to perform electric motor running for running with power of the second electric motor while the engine is put into a non-drive state, when the engine is started during the electric motor running, the second device causing the first electric motor to rotate the engine while the other first planetary gear device constituent member and the one second planetary gear device constituent member are kept non-rotatable by the brake, and when the brake is released after start of the engine, the control device controlling the first electric motor before release of the brake such that a torque applied to the brake due to power of the engine reaches a magnitude balancing with a torque applied to the brake due to a running load. |
