Upon shifting control of differential mechanism 10, speed ratio .gamma.0
of continuously-variable transmission portion 11 and speed ratio .gamma.
of automatic transmission portion 20 are determined by vehicle-output
control device 82 on the basis of target engine output P.sub.E* and
vehicle speed V, so as to establish an operating point of engine 8 which
provides the target engine output P.sub.E* and which follows an
optimum-fuel-economy curve, and the shifting control of the
continuously-variable transmission portion 11 and the shifting control of
the automatic transmission portion 20 are effected substantially
concurrently, so that engine speed N.sub.E continuously changes, and the
differential mechanism 10 is shifted with a reduced shifting shock.
Further, the speed ratio .gamma.0 of the continuously-variable
transmission portion 11, in other words, the engine speed N.sub.E is
changed by using first electric motor M1 and/or second electric motor M2,
permitting an improvement in shifting response of the differential
mechanism 10.
