When the vehicle is requested to be accelerated while the moving control is executed, the apparatus keeps the engine deactivated and activates the motor while the requested power is smaller than a second start determination value, and starts to activate the engine when the requested power reaches the second start determination value. The second start determination value is smaller than the first start determination value.
