Abstract:
1. A vehicular control apparatus mounted on a vehicle including an internal combustion engine, a rotating electrical machine, and a storage device that is supplied with a power from the rotating electrical machine, wherein the vehicle can be decelerated through stoppage of injection of fuel into the internal combustion engine and regenerative braking by the rotating electrical machine, the vehicular control apparatus controls the vehicle such that a remaining capacity of the storage device becomes equal to a first target value when a temperature of a catalyst of the internal combustion engine is higher than a first threshold, and that the remaining capacity of the storage device becomes equal to a second target value when the temperature of the catalyst is equal to or lower than the first threshold, the first target value is lower than the second target value, and the first threshold is a predetermined value lower than a temperature at which a performance of the catalyst deteriorates due to a promotion of a deterioration in the catalyst when the stoppage of the injection is performed.
