HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE AND HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

A hybrid vehicle control device provided with an engine idle unit for maintaining an engine rotation speed at an idle rotation speed by an engine, a motor idle unit for maintaining the engine rotation speed at the idle rotation speed by a motor generator, a switching unit for switching an idle control between execution of engine idle control and execution of motor idle control in accordance with an operation state of the hybrid vehicle, and an idle control changing unit for changing from the idle control to the engine idle control by adding a load torque portion of the motor generator having been inputted into the engine for maintaining the engine rotation speed at the idle rotation speed during the motor idle control to an output torque of the engine when the idle control is switched from the motor idle control to the engine idle control during the idle operation.
