Abstract
A drive system includes: a drive device including an electric motor; and a torque controller that controls operations of the electric motor to control torque output from the electric motor. The torque controller includes a target-motor-torque determiner that determines target motor torque based on a sum of motor requested torque and a value obtained by multiplying a gain by sprung-portion-vibration-control torque. The target motor torque is a target value of the torque output from the electric motor. The motor requested torque is determined based on vehicle requested torque requested for driving of the vehicle. The torque controller includes a gain determiner that determines the gain to a value that is less when an absolute value of the motor requested torque is small with respect to the sprung-portion-vibration-control torque than when the absolute value is large with respect to the sprung-portion-vibration-control torque.
