A control device for a hybrid vehicle that responds reliably to the assist requests of a driver from start-up to departure of the vehicle. The control system for a hybrid vehicle equipped with an engine that outputs the start force for the vehicle, an electric motor that supplements the output of the engine, and a battery that supplies electrical power to the engine, provides an engine rotation speed sensor and an output assistance determination device that determines as to whether or not to carry output assistance using the motor depending on the state of the driving of the vehicle, and wherein the output assistance determination device provides an after-start-up output assistance permission means that permits output assistance of the engine by the electric motor in the case that the engine rotation speed detection means detects that the engine rotation speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined value during start-up of the engine, and in the case that the output assistance is permitted by the after-start-up output assistance permission device, output assistance of the engine by the electric motor is carried out.
