Abstract:
A driving force control unit for a vehicle, which allows transmission of driving force from a driving motor to driving wheels irrespective of releasing an accelerator pedal at a certain or lower vehicle speed when a transmission is selected to a driving range, and which switches the magnitude of the driving force while the accelerator pedal is released at a vehicle speed no more than the certain vehicle speed between a greater condition and a smaller condition in accordance with depression of the brake pedal so that the driving force is made lower at a depression of the brake pedal than at a release of the brake pedal, wherein the driving force value in said greater condition upon switching from said smaller condition to said greater condition, at a release of the brake pedal during the time the vehicle stops, is increased or decreased based on a vehicle inclination angle when the vehicle stops.
