In a hybrid vehicle, when the engine is started and caused to make a transition from a stopped state into an operating state, the control device performs an operation control of the rotary machine and an output control of the engine to increase the rotation speed of the engine so that the rotation speed reaches a target rotation speed after the transition of the engine into the operating state, determined by the shifting control, and during increasing the rotation speed, when suppression conditions further including a condition that a vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a predetermined vehicle speed, and a condition that an output request amount by a driver is smaller than a predetermined output request amount, are satisfied, the control device suppresses an increase rate of the rotation speed until a predetermined time elapses from an initiation of starting of the engine as compared with when the suppression conditions are not satisfied.

A method of rapidly cooling a high temperature vehicle coolant is disclosed. The method includes determining a coolant temperature lowering entry condition by detecting information on the coolant temperature, an engine speed, and a gear state and determining whether the coolant temperature needs to be rapidly lowered on the basis of the detected information; and changing a number of gear stages by adjusting the number of gear stages of a transmission to be reduced to a specific number of gear stages when the coolant temperature needs to be rapidly lowered in the determining of the coolant temperature lowering entry condition, so that the cooling fan is driven by driving the fan belt through a crank damper pulley using the increased engine speed according to the reducing adjustment of the number of gear stages.

A vehicle control apparatus calculates a target speed value of an engine rotational speed that is required to provide a required torque value of an engine brake torque, and controls shifting of an automatic transmission such that the engine rotational speed is approximated to the target speed value of the engine rotational speed. The vehicle control apparatus determines whether the target speed value exceeds a predetermined threshold value. When the target speed value exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the vehicle control apparatus controls the shifting of the automatic transmission such that the engine rotational speed is held not higher than the predetermined threshold value, and controls a throttle valve such that the throttle valve is opened.
