VEHICLE AND DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

摘要

A drive control device for a vehicle drives an engine at a desired fuel consumption. The drive control device includes a map which correlates each engine rotation speed with an evaluation value indicating a fuel consumption when driving the engine at that engine rotation speed. The drive control device calculates a targeted evaluation value Etg between a first evaluation value Elim1 indicating a fuel consumption when driving the engine in the fuel economy mode and a second evaluation value Elim2 indicating a fuel consumption when driving the engine in the acceleration responsive mode. The drive control device calculates a target engine rotation speed Stg correlated to the targeted evaluation value Etg by referring to the map.
