• an electric generator configured to be coupled to the engine;
• a lock up clutch configured to be coupled to the engine;
• a throttle valve configured to control an amount of intake air of the engine;
• an electric generator control unit configured to allow the electric generator to perform regenerative power-generation on decelerated travel of the vehicle;
• a clutch control unit configured to control the lock up clutch to an engaged state on a condition that the electric generator performs the regenerative power-generation;
• and
• a throttle control unit configured to control the throttle valve openwise on the condition that the electric generator performs the regenerative power-generation,
• the throttle control unit being configured to control the throttle valve from openwise to closewise on a condition that the lock up clutch is controlled from the engaged state to a disengaged state, with the throttle valve having been controlled openwise in accompaniment with the regenerative power-generation of the electric generator.
