Patent ID: 8694188

Claim:
A motor torque control device of an electrically-driven vehicle equipped with a motor serving as a driving source, wherein the motor torque control device is configured to limit an output of the motor when both a brake pedal and an accelerator pedal of the electrically-driven vehicle are stepped, and to change an upper motor limit torque, which is an upper limit value of a command torque for the motor, depending on a vehicle velocity of the electrically-driven vehicle detected by a vehicle velocity detecting unit, and on a stepping amount of the brake pedal detected by a brake pedal stepping amount detecting unit, wherein when the command torque exceeds the upper motor limit torque, the upper motor limit torque is output as the command torque, when the command torque falls below a lower motor limit torque, the lower motor limit torque is output as the command torque, and when the command torque is between the upper motor limit torque and the lower motor limit torque, the command torque is output, wherein the motor torque control device is configured to change a value of the upper motor limit torque between a positive value and a negative value depending on the vehicle velocity and the stepping amount of the brake pedal.
