A vehicle controller 1 for activating a vehicle glide mode is provided. The controller 1 receives vehicle operating data including: torque request data representative of a torque request; acceleration data representative of vehicle acceleration; and output torque data representative of an output torque. The controller 1 is configured to analyse the vehicle operating data to identify a vehicle glide opportunity. The controller 1 is operative to generate an activation signal 4 for activating the vehicle glide mode when said vehicle glide opportunity has been identified and the torque request is positive. The controller is thereby operative to implement a vehicle glide strategy. The controller 1 can also operate to deactivate the vehicle glide mode. A method of activating a vehicle glide mode is also provided. |
