Abstract
A vehicle includes a left clutch provided on a path for transmitting driving torque to a left rear wheel and a right clutch provided on a path for transmitting driving torque to a right rear wheel torque. If a command value of the driving torque distributed to the left rear wheel using the left clutch and a command value of the driving torque distributed to the left rear wheel using the right clutch fall respectively below predetermined lower limit values, a control device controls the command values of the driving torque to be predetermined lower limit values. While realizing an optimal torque distribution control, accuracy of the driving torque distributed to the left and right rear wheels (auxiliary drive wheels) can be improved by preventing the command values (command torque) distributed to the left and right rear wheels from becoming small below the limit.
