DRIVE APPARATUS FOR HYBRID VEHICLE

A drive apparatus (10) for a hybrid vehicle includes: (a) a hybrid drive unit (14; 150) having (a-1) an automatic transmission (20), (a-2) a first rotating machine (MG1) and (a-3) an engine (22) connected to the first rotating machine (MG1) through a hydraulically-operated connecting/disconnecting device (K0); (b) an electric drive unit (18) including a second rotating machine (MG2); and (c) a hybrid control device (70; 230) configured, in event of an anomaly that disables a shift control of the automatic transmission (20), to generate an electric power by causing the first rotating machine (MG1) to be rotated by the engine (22) and drive the hybrid vehicle to run by causing the second rotating machine (MG2) of the electric drive unit (18) to be operated with use of the generated electric power, in a state in which a power transmission through the automatic transmission (20) is cut off and the connecting/disconnecting device (K0) is engaged.
