DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optimize the distribution of engine torque to a main driving wheel side and an electric conversion part. SOLUTION: A vehicle is provided with: an engine 2 for driving front wheels, a power generator 7 to be driven with torque to be input from the engine 2; and a motor 4 to be driven with the power of the power generator 7 for driving rear wheels. In the vehicle, torque is transmitted from the engine 2 through a torque converter 51 to front wheels. When deciding that an electric conversion torque ratio is equal to or more than the torque ratio of the torque converter 51, a motor torque command is output. That is, when an electric conversion part more largely amplifies engine torque than the torque converter, the motor torque command is output. Thus, large torque is generated from the same engine torque, and low fuel consumption is achieved by reducing the engine torque. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
