CONTROL DEVICE OF HYBRID VEHICLE

A control device (11) of a vehicle (1) enables an engine (4) to be operated at an operating point with a good fuel consumption efficiency, to perform power generation, without causing a sense of incongruity about noise or vibrations to a driver. With the control device 11), the engine (4) is operated so that generated power of a generator (9) increases in response to electric power required of the vehicle (1). Thus, the engine can be operated at an operating point with a satisfactory fuel consumption efficiency. When in an acceleration state, the engine is operated so that the increase amount of generated power is set to be larger than when in a deceleration state. When in the deceleration state, the engine is operated so that an increase in generated power is suppressed and an increase in noise is curbed.
