Abstract:
1. An engine start-up control device for a vehicle which includes a differential mechanism connected to an engine generating a drive power by combustion of fuel, a first electric motor, and a reactive-force receiving member whose rotation is restricted with a reactive torque controlled by a reactive-force control device, the engine start-up control device starting up the engine by driving thereof by the first electric motor under a condition where the reactive-force control device restricts the rotation of the reactive-force receiving member, the engine start-up control device including a rotation-fluctuation permitting device configured to control the reactive-force control device such that during an engine start-up in an output limiting state of the first electric motor, a rotation speed of the reactive-force receiving member varies at a greater rate than that in a state where the output of the first electric motor is unlimited.
