Abstract:
1. A driving force control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle capable of traveling with an engine and an electric motor as power sources, comprising: a target engine rotational number setting unit that sets a target engine rotational number by using a fuel consumption optimal operation-line set in advance based on an operating state of the vehicle; a torque setting unit that sets target output torque of the engine and the electric motor based on the operating state of the vehicle and the target engine rotational number; and a torque controlling unit that controls the engine and the electric motor based on the target engine rotational number and the target output torque, wherein when there is a torque down command in the torque setting unit, the target engine rotational number setting unit maintains the target engine rotational number to a current target engine rotational number.
