Patent ID: 7828692

Claim:
A control device of a vehicle, wherein said vehicle includes a drive wheel, a first rotating electric machine generating drive torque for said drive wheel, a hydraulic transmission transmitting the drive torque from said first rotating electric machine to said drive wheel, an electric oil pump generating a source hydraulic pressure for said hydraulic transmission, an internal combustion engine operated in order to drive said drive wheel, a mechanical oil pump rotating upon receiving mechanical power from said internal combustion engine and generating said source hydraulic pressure, and a shift lever for switching a shift range, and said control device is configured to cause said first rotating electric machine to stop when a neutral range is selected by the shift lever, and thereafter change rotation speed of said electric oil pump from a first rotation speed to a second rotation speed lower than said first rotation speed if a state of said electric oil pump enters a state where it is not preferable to continue operation at said first rotation speed.
