Original Abstract Submitted
A control apparatus for a vehicle that includes: a drive wheel; an engine; a gear-type power transmission device disposed between the engine and the drive wheel; and a rotary electric machine connected to the gear-type power transmission device in a power transmittable manner. The rotary electric machine is configured to apply a pressing torque in order to suppress rattle noise caused by play between gears of the gear-type power transmission device. The control apparatus is configured to detect an engine torque that is a torque of the engine, and to control the pressing torque based on the detected engine torque.
