Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a vehicle driving system; (A) by accumulating the output power of an engine operating along a fuel economizing characteristic curve in a flywheel interlocked with the engine through a drive shaft as energy, transmitting the output power of the engine or the accumulated energy to an output shaft by way of a power transmission system to drive the output shaft and the drive wheels of the vehicle interlocked with the output shaft to rotate, wherein the engine can be restarted to supply rotational energy to the flywheel, (B) the power transmission system; (C) the control method being adapted to cause the output shaft to output a torque proportional to the pedaled quantity of an accelerator pedal, (D) the control method being adapted to control the condition of a continuously decreasing rotational speed of the flywheel by driving the drive wheels only by the rotational energy of the flywheel, (E) provided that;
