Patent ID: 8600594

Claim:
A vehicle equipped with a motor arranged to output power to an axle, the vehicle comprising: an accelerator operation amount detector configured to detect a driver's accelerator operation amount; a decrease rate setting module configured to set a decrease rate of an output torque from the motor, based on the detected accelerator operation amount; an increase rate setting module configured to set an increase rate of the output torque from the motor, based on the detected accelerator operation amount; and a controller configured to, on condition that there is no substantial change of the detected accelerator operation amount and that a predetermined torque decrease increase condition is satisfied in a vehicle stop state with output of a corresponding torque based on the detected accelerator operation amount from the motor, control the motor to decrease the output torque of the motor by the set decrease rate until a preset back motion of the vehicle and to increase the output torque of the motor up to the corresponding torque by the set increase rate after the preset back motion of the vehicle, wherein the decrease rate setting module sets the decrease rate to have an increasing tendency with an increase of the detected accelerator operation amount, and the increase rate setting module sets the increase rate to have an increasing tendency with an increase of the detected accelerator operation amount.
