Abstract

A temperature detecting unit for detecting the temperature of the left electric motor and the temperature of the right electric motor, a temperature determination unit for determining that the temperature of one of the detected temperatures is outside the predetermined temperature range, a driving force limiting unit for reducing driving torque of the other electric motor that is not outside the temperature range when it is determined that one of the temperature of the left electric motor and the temperature of the right electric motor is outside the temperature range, and a driving torque increasing unit for increasing driving torque by the other driving device that does not include the one electric motor that is outside the temperature range among the first driving device and the second driving device when driving torque of the other electric motor is reduced.
