VEHICLE DRIVE DEVICE

摘要

Disclosed is a vehicle drive device provided with at least one drive power source (1), a constant mesh transmission (3), and a clutch (2) which is disengaged or engaged so as to cut off or allow power transmission from the drive power source (1) to the transmission (3) and configured to shift gears of the transmission (3) in response to a human manipulation. In order to reduce the possibility of giving a driver a feeling of strangeness of deceleration in the process of shifting gears of the transmission (3) while the clutch (2) is disengaged under deceleration of a vehicle, the vehicle drive device is provided with a motor (4) for inputting positive or negative drive power to front wheels (6, 6) without the clutch (2), and an ECU (100) for controlling the output torque of the motor (4). The ECU (100) controls the output torque of the motor (4) such that the vehicle deceleration before the shift of gears is maintained in the process of disengaging the clutch (2) and shifting gears of the transmission (3) under deceleration of the vehicle.
