Abstract
A control apparatus for a vehicle includes an offset torque calculator configured to perform calculation of offset torque to be applied to at least one wheel of the vehicle. The offset torque is required to stop the vehicle on a sloping road having a predetermined gradient. The control apparatus includes a motor controller configured to, for stopping the vehicle on the sloping road having the predetermined gradient, perform control of causing output torque of the motor-generator to asymptotically approach the offset torque.
