<p>The current invention relates to an overrun control device in a hybrid vehicle to operate an engine of the vehicle during overrun condition of the vehicle. The hybrid vehicle comprises a first clutch coupling an engine of the vehicle to a motor operated by battery of the vehicle and a second clutch coupling the motor to a transmission of the vehicle. The overrun control device of the current invention is characterized in that a prediction means determines start of the overrun condition and predicts duration of the overrun condition at the start of the overrun condition. A comparator compares the predicted duration of the overrun condition with duration required to execute at least one pre-determined test in the overrun condition. A switching means of the overrun control device selectively operates first clutch or second clutch in the overrun condition, depending on the comparison by the comparator.
