In a hybrid vehicle that includes an internal combustion engine (1) in conjunction with an electric motor (2), when one of a process of regenerating the purification capacity of an exhaust gas purifying device (10) and a process of charging a battery (7) is performed (S102), the presence or absence of a request to perform the other process is determined (S103) so that the two processes may be performed as simultaneously as possible to reduce deterioration in driveability and in the fuel efficiency as much as possible.
