PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To speedily turn a motor into an operating state in which a distributed load is outputted without deteriorating emission or operating characteristics in a power output apparatus for distributing required torque to the motor and an electric motor by outputting it to a drive shaft. SOLUTION: A maximum load change quantity Lmax of an engine is calculated based on a temperature WT of cooling water for the engine, an operation lapse time T, a property learning value F of fuel and a deposit learning value D of an intake system (step S110). A load change quantity L of the engine determined according to a pedaling quantity of an acceleration pedal is limited to not greater than the maximum load change quantity Lmax (step S114). An opening degree ST of a throttle valve is regulated according to the limited load change quantity L (step S116). Consequently, in the engine, an air-fuel ratio of mixture air to be supplied can be prevented from becoming markedly different from a target value, so that a load of the engine can be increased, thereby preventing deterioration of emission or operating characteristics. |
