Abstract:
A drive force control system to improve efficiency of a vehicle by controlling motors connected to drive wheels. A controller is configured to: calculate a total required torque of the drive unit; obtain combinations of a first interim torque of a first motor and a second interim torque of a second motor to achieve the total required torque; select a combination of the first interim torque and the second interim torque to minimize an output of a power source; and output the first interim torque of the first motor and the second interim torque of the second motor based on the selected combination.

Claim (Index 2):
The drive force control system as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:\n control a torque transmitting capacity of the clutch; calculate a first required torque of the right drive wheel and a second required torque of the left drive wheel; calculate the a torque transmitting capacity of the clutch by subtracting the required torque of one of the drive wheels requiring a larger torque from the interim torque of the motor connected to the said one of the wheels of the selected combination, when the required torques of the drive wheels are different; and controls the clutch in such a manner as to achieve the calculated torque transmitting capacity.
