VEHICULAR DRIVE CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular drive control apparatus that properly starts an internal combustion engine when the internal combustion engine is started after deceleration.

SOLUTION: The vehicular drive control apparatus is applied to a vehicle including an internal combustion engine and a regeneration control means for performing regenerative braking during deceleration. The vehicular drive control apparatus starts the internal combustion engine during deceleration in the following cases: (1) the internal combustion engine is suspended; (2) surplus energy is generated due to regenerative braking during deceleration; and (3) the internal combustion engine is expected to start after the deceleration. There is no need to extract energy from a battery to start the internal combustion engine, thereby improving fuel economy.
