A power switcher mechanism includes an internal combustion engine, a generator motor, a controller and a power interrupter. The internal combustion engine outputs a power. The generator motor carries out electric power generation as well as outputs a power when a power is input. The controller selects and then controls the internal combustion engine and the generator motor as a driving source for running. The power interrupter connects the generator motor with a power transmission route for transmitting the power and then disconnects the generator motor from the power transmission route, or vice versa, intermittently. The controller activates the power interrupter and then deactivates it, or vice versa, intermittently, with reference to information on road conditions, information on traffic conditions or information on vehicular conditions.
