HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE

Provided is a control device for a hybrid vehicle enabling to achieve an increase in timing when an engine can be started in a motor single driving mode, and to prevent the vehicle from moving backward at a time of engine start. As modes for starting the engine in a motor single driving, a push-start mode and a motor start mode are executable. The push-start mode transmits a driving force from driving wheels to the engine via a first transmission route at a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed detection means equal to or more than a predetermined vehicle speed to start the engine. The motor start mode starts the engine using a driving force of the motor at a vehicle speed equal to or less than the predetermined vehicle speed as well as in a stopped state. At a vehicle speed out of a vehicle speed range in which either of the push-start mode or the motor start mode is executable when a start command of the engine occurs in driving only using the electric motor as the driving source, a control means performs the driving force reduction control for reducing a driving force transmitted from the electric motor to the driving wheels of the vehicle.
