Abstract
An HEV-CU determines whether a traveling state requires giving priority to a front and rear driving force control (e.g., whether a vehicle is cornering) on the basis of a traveling state of the vehicle. If the traveling state requires giving priority to the front and rear driving force control (e.g., the vehicle is cornering), the HEV-CU-preferentially controls of an engine and a motor generator as well as engagement force of a differential limiting clutch in accordance with friction force between front and rear wheels and a road surface. If the traveling state does not require giving priority to the front and rear driving force control (e.g., the vehicle is traveling straight), the HEV-CU preferentially controls the driving of the motor generator to cause a charged state (SOC) of a high-voltage battery that supplies electric power to the motor generator to fall within a predetermined range.
