A hybrid powered vehicle including an internal combustion engine and an electric motor is constructed to activate earlier an exhaust gas purifying catalyst without any decline of drivability. The hybrid powered vehicle has an electric power generating unit driven by the internal combustion engine, an electric power accumulating element for accumulating the electric power generated by the electric power generating unit, an electric motor, for driving wheels, of which a driving source is the electric power generated by the electric power generating unit or the electric power accumulated in the electric power accumulating element, a power distributing mechanism for distributing the driving force outputted from the internal combustion engine to the electric power generating unit and the wheels, a warm-up operation control unit for controlling a warm-up operation of the internal combustion engine when the internal combustion engine is started up under a predetermined condition, and an operation state switching unit for switching, when a high-output operation request of the internal combustion engine occurs during the warm-up operation of the internal combustion engine by the warm-up operation control unit, the internal combustion engine from the warm-up operation state to a high-output operation state.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An internal combustion engine control apparatus of a hybrid powered vehicle including: an internal combustion engine; an electric motor; and warm-up operation controlling means for making a driving force of said electric motor as a main driving source for traveling under a predetermined condition, and controlling a warm-up operation of said internal combustion engine,said internal combustion engine control apparatus comprising:operation state switching means for switching, when there is requested a driving force larger than a driving force that can be outputted by said electric motor and by said internal combustion engine which is on a warm-up operation during the warm-up operation of said internal combustion engine, said internal combustion engine from a warm-up operation state to a high-output operation state.
