Control apparatus for vehicle
First Claim
1. A control apparatus for a vehicle, the vehicle being provided with at least one electronically controllable vehicle-mounted accessory that can be driven by an internal-combustion engine, and energy storage means for storing energy generated by the at least one accessory being driven by the engine, the apparatus comprising:
- regenerative control means for performing regenerative control during deceleration of the vehicle according to a deceleration instruction from a driver of the vehicle by driving the at least one accessory to convert kinetic energy of the vehicle into drive energy of the at least one accessory; and
drive-control means for performing drive-control of the at least one accessory during a vehicle running period other than a regenerative control period so that the energy storage means has a margin in energy storage capacity for storing energy to be generated by the at least one accessory being driven by the engine during the regenerative control.

Abstract
A control apparatus for a vehicle that is capable of enhancing fuel efficiency of an internal-combustion engine. The vehicle is provided with at least one electronically controllable vehicle-mounted accessory that can be driven by the engine, and energy storage means for storing energy generated by the at least one vehicle-mounted accessory being driven by the engine. The apparatus includes regenerative control means for performing regenerative control during deceleration of the vehicle according to a deceleration instruction from a driver, and drive-control means for performing drive-control of the at least one vehicle-mounted accessory during a vehicle running period other than a regenerative control period so that the energy storage means has a margin in energy storage capacity for storing energy to be generated by the at least one vehicle-mounted accessory being driven by the engine during the regenerative control.
