First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a rotating electric machine generating driving power for running the vehicle; and
a control device for controlling the rotating electric machine,the control device performing driving power variation operation on the rotating electric machine in which the rotating electric machine is switched between a first state and a second state to run the vehicle, the rotating electric machine generating driving power in the first state, the rotating electric machine generating driving power smaller than the driving power in the first state in the second state,the control device controlling the rotating electric machine in such a manner that the driving power in the first state has a non-rectangular shape.

Abstract
A vehicle includes a motor generator generating driving power for running, and an ECU. The ECU performs driving power variation operation on the motor generator in which the motor generator is switched between a first state (acceleration running) and a second state (inertial running) when power requested by a user varies within a prescribed range to run the vehicle. In the first state, the motor generator generates driving power. In the second state, the motor generator generates driving power smaller than the driving power in the first state. The ECU controls the motor generator in such a manner that the driving power during the acceleration running has a non-rectangular shape. As a result, gradual variation in driving power can be provided at the time of switching between the acceleration running and the inertial running, to improve drivability.

16. A method of controlling a vehicle including a rotating electric machine generating driving power for running, comprising the steps of:
-
putting the rotating electric machine in a first state where the rotating electric machine generates driving power; putting the rotating electric machine in a second state where the rotating electric machine generates driving power smaller than the driving power in the first state; performing driving power variation operation of switching between the first and second states to run the vehicle; and controlling the rotating electric machine in such a manner that the driving power in the first state has a non-rectangular shape.
