Abstract:
1. A vehicle comprising: a clutch device arranged in a power transmission path between an engine and wheels and which changes from a partial clutch engagement state to a complete connection state when an engine speed is increased to a predetermined engage rotational speed of the clutch device; first detecting means for detecting the engine speed; second detecting means for detecting a rotational speed of a rotating member arranged on the power transmission path on a power downstream side from a power intermittent section of the clutch device and rotated by output power of the clutch device; engine speed changing means for changing the engine speed; and control means for controlling the engine speed changing means such that the engine speed does not exceed a limit rotational speed when the rotational speed of the rotating member detected by the second detecting means is lower than a set rotational speed and the engine speed detected by the first detecting means exceeds the limit rotational speed, the set rotational speed of the rotating member being set in a range from zero to a rotational speed of the rotating member during rotation of the engine at the predetermined engage rotational speed, and the limit rotational speed of engine being set in a range between a speed more than the predetermined engage rotational speed and a speed less than a predetermined maximum limit rotational speed.
