Vehicle hybrid drive device

A vehicle hybrid drive device comprising:

• a first rotating machine coupled to an engine;
• a connection/disconnection device capable of connecting/disconnecting the engine and the first rotating machine to/from wheels;
• and a second rotating machine disposed in a manner enabling transmission of drive power to the wheels, the vehicle hybrid drive device enabling a vehicle to run in two running modes of
• an EV running mode enabling the vehicle to run with the second rotating machine used as a drive power source while the connection/disconnection device is disconnected, and
• a parallel HEV running mode enabling the vehicle to run with the engine and at least one of the first and second rotating machines as the drive power sources while the connection/disconnection device is connected,
• when the EV running mode is shifted to the parallel HEV running mode, the shift being made in two shift modes of
• a first shift mode in which after the engine is cranked by the first rotating machine and the engine is ignited and started, the connection/disconnection device is connected, and
• a second shift mode in which after the engine is cranked by the first rotating machine and the connection/disconnection device is connected, the engine is ignited and started, and
• if a driver desires power-performance-oriented running, the EV running mode being shifted in the second shift mode, and if the driver does not desire power-performance-oriented running, the EV running mode being shifted in the first shift mode.
