Abstract

See full text

A controller is employed in a vehicle including an engine, a motor generator, and a hydraulically-driven clutch. The controller includes a CPU that executes: a first starting process that starts, when starting the engine under a condition in which an increase amount of a torque request value is less than an increase amount determination value, combustion in the engine after increasing an engine rotation speed to a motor rotation speed by engaging the clutch; and a second starting process that starts, when starting the engine under a condition in which the increase amount of the torque request value is greater than or equal to the increase amount determination value, combustion in the engine after the crankshaft starts to be rotated by engaging the clutch, the combustion being started before the engine rotation speed reaches the motor rotation speed.
