A transmission has a first transmission group which is capable of transmitting motive power from an electric motor and/or an engine to driven wheels and which is provided with a plurality of transmission stages having different transmission ratios and a second transmission group capable of transmitting motive power from the engine to the driven wheels. If the temperature of a battery detected by a temperature sensor is below a first predetermined temperature or a second predetermined temperature or higher, then an ECU sets the transmission stage of the first transmission group at an intermediate stage and carries out control so as to travel at an intermediate stage of the second transmission group which is adjacent to the intermediate stage of the first transmission group.
