<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device preventing increase in the size of a first electric motor taking charge of reaction torque relative to engine torque, in a vehicle drive device provided with a differential mechanism enabling a differential action for distributing engine output to the first electric motor and an output shaft and with the electric motor arranged on a power transmitting path from the differential mechanism to a driving wheel. <P>SOLUTION: At start of a vehicle driven by an engine 8, since the engine torque T<SB>E</SB>is restricted by a start time engine torque restriction means 86, output of the first electric motor M1 taking charge of reaction torque relative to the engine torque T<SB>E</SB>can be reduced in comparison with the case where the engine torque T<SB>E</SB>is not restricted. That is to say, since it is unnecessary to increase the maximum value of output to be generated by the first electric motor M1 to respond to the case where the engine torque T<SB>E</SB>is not restricted, increase in the size of the first electric motor M1 is prevented. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
