Abstract:
1. A vehicle driving force control apparatus comprising: a main drive source configured and arranged to drive a main drive wheel; an electric generator configured and arranged to be driven by the main drive source; an electric motor configured and arranged to drive a subordinate drive wheel from electric power generated by the electric generator; a main drive source output suppressing section configured to suppress the output of the main drive source such that a degree of acceleration slippage of the main drive wheel is matched to a preset target slippage degree when the main drive wheel undergoes acceleration slippage; a stuck detecting section configured to detect if a vehicle stuck state exists; and a stuck escaping section configured to stop the output suppression of the main drive source conducted by the main drive source output suppressing section when the detection result of the stuck detecting section indicates that the vehicle stuck state exists and when the main drive wheel undergoes acceleration slippage.
