Running drive control device for vehicle

Abstract

In a vehiclein which front wheelsare driven by transferring power to the front wheelsfrom an engineand a front motorvia a transaxle, and rear wheelsare driven by a rear motor, thus causing the vehicleto run, the vehicleincludes a hybrid control unitthat calculates a required output for running the vehicle, sets an output ratio between a front wheelsside and a rear wheelsside, and controls outputs of the engine, the front motor, and the rear motorbased on the required output of the vehicleand the output ratio, a T/A oil temperature sensorthat acquires an oil temperature in the transaxle, and a T/A protection control unitthat performs transaxle protection control in a case in which the oil temperature T in the transaxlebecomes a first threshold Tor more, the transaxle protection control reducing a proportion of the output on a front wheelsside compared with the proportion of the output on the front wheelsside of a case in which the oil temperature T in the transaxleis less than the first threshold T
