Provided is a control device for a hybrid vehicle capable of attaining an assist torque generated by a clutch mechanism at an appropriate timing, upon starting the engine. Since an electronic control device 58 outputs an engagement command for engaging a clutch K0 (clutch mechanism) at a time t1 preceding an (ignition) start command (time t2) for igniting an engine 12 by a preceding-sending time Tm, the clutch K0 becomes engaged when the engine speed N E starts to increase, and the assist torque generated by the clutch mechanism can thus be obtained at an appropriate timing. Because the engine speed N E that was once increased upon starting the engine 12 is not decreased, the energy that was consumed for starting the engine can be effectively used. |
