Driving force control apparatus and method for automotive vehicle
First Claim
1. A driving force control apparatus for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- an internal combustion engine that drives mainly driven wheels of the vehicle;
a generator that is driven by the internal combustion engine;
a motor that is driven by a power of the generator and is capable of driving other wheels than the mainly driven wheels;
a condenser electrically connected to the generator in parallel with the motor; and
a condenser controlling section that connects the condenser to the motor in a case where a vehicle speed (Vv) is equal to or lower than a predetermined vehicle speed and disconnects the condenser from the motor and the generator in a case where the vehicle speed is in excess of the predetermined vehicle speed.
