(54) DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE FOR HYBRID VEHICLE


(57) Provided is a drive control device for a hybrid vehicle, the drive control device being configured in such a manner that, when there is an engine stop request, the drive control device can, irrespective of the presence of the compressive reaction force of the engine, promptly stop the engine without generating noise and vibration.
When there is a request for stopping an engine (12), the rotational speed (NE) of the engine is reduced first by a first electric motor (MG1). Then, the engagement of either a clutch (CL) and/or a brake (BK) is started, and the rotational speed (NE) of the engine is stopped by the engagement of both the clutch (CL) and the brake (BK). As a result of this configuration, irrespective of the presence of the compressive reaction force of the engine (12), the engine (12) can be stopped promptly without generating noise and vibration.
