1. In a vehicle slip control apparatus capable of preventing the driving wheel from being slipped or spinned excessively on a road surface by controlling a torque transmitted to the driving wheel, the slip control apparatus comprising:

  • output torque adjusting means for adjusting the output torque of a power source functioning as a source of the output of the torque;

    braking force adjusting means for adjusting a braking force of the brake for a driving wheel;

    slip detecting means for detecting slippage of the driving wheel on a road surface; and

    slip controlling means for carrying out the slip control by controlling said output torque adjusting means and said braking force adjusting means in response to an output from said slip detecting means, thereby reducing the output torque of said power source without using a braking force of the driving wheel when the degree of slippage of the driving wheel is small, and thereby providing the driving wheel with the braking force, in addition to the reduction in the output torque of the power source, when the degree of slippage of the driving wheel is large.
