In a coasting control process according to an embodiment of the present invention, a controller (83) increases line pressure PL of a hydraulic path (72) to predetermined pressure P1 such that discharge pressure of an MOP (41) becomes higher than that before a C1 clutch (4) is disengaged at timing when a coasting control executing condition is satisfied (time t = t1). According to such coasting control process, driving torque of the MOP (41) increases, so that deceleration (deceleration G) caused by driving of the MOP (41) by a drive wheel (6L, 6R) becomes larger than that in conventional coasting control in which the discharge pressure of the MOP (41) is not increased. As a result, it is possible to prevent that a driver feels discomfort due to free-running feeling generated during the coasting control.
