Abstract: When switching an operation state of an engine in a hybrid system from a lean burn operation to a stoichiometry operation, the lean burn operation is once switched to a rich operation and then switched to the stoichiometry operation. During a period from before switching to the rich operation to after switching to the rich operation, an intake air restriction for restricting an amount of intake air to the engine is performed. As a result, the amount of intake air is made smaller than when the intake air restriction is not performed. Further, during the period in which the intake air restriction is performed before switching to the rich operation, a fuel cut for cutting fuel to the engine is performed.
