Patent ID: 7140460

Claim:
A vehicle driving force control apparatus for a vehicle comprising: a main drive source configured and arranged to supply a main drive wheel with a drive torque; a subordinate drive source configured and arranged to supply a subordinate drive wheel with a drive torque; a clutch disposed in a torque transfer path from the subordinate drive source to the subordinate drive wheel; a transition determining section configured to output a transition determination upon determining a transition condition indicating cease of the drive torque from the subordinate drive source to the subordinate drive wheel, while the vehicle is traveling; and a clutch release section configured to disengage the clutch, upon the drive torque of the subordinate drive source substantially reaching a target drive torque in which a difference between an output torque of the clutch and an input torque of the clutch is smaller than a prescribed value in response to the transition determination by the transition determining section.
