A control apparatus utilizes an electric motor to initially start-up an engine. In an engine restart under certain conditions, the control apparatus sets a motor output value for the electric motor to a value exceeding the rated performance. Thus, when starting up the engine, the control apparatus makes up for a shortage of power by executing overload driving of the motor for a short time period. When certain conditions are not met, the control apparatus operates the electric motor in combination with a starter motor to restart the engine. The electric motor is located between the engine and a transmission.
