Patent ID: 7436137

Claim:
A vehicle having a drive regenerative control system, comprising: a drive system that drives the vehicle in which an electric motor is combined with another drive source as necessary; a mechanism that transmits the driving force from the drive system to the vehicle; an electric motor operation control circuit that controls the drive and regeneration of the electric motor; a storage mechanism that stores regenerative energy; a storage control circuit; a sensor that detects the motion of the vehicle; and an operation control device that outputs a drive control signal to the electromotive drive system based on the sensor output; wherein the electric motor has a movable body constituted from a magnetic body, and a plurality of phase coils, and the operation control device controls one or a plurality of the phase coils for driving and/or regeneration according to the operation status of the vehicle; and wherein, when the vehicle is running on a low load, said operation control device performs control so as to simultaneously use a part of the plurality of phase coils for driving and the other phase coils for regeneration.
