Abstract
A vehicle having an antilock brake system to control a brake so as to suppress locking of wheels when a slip ratio of the wheels exceeds a predetermined value is also provided with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). When antilock brake control is being performed, a drive shaft torque controller computes a command torque of an engine and command drive ratio of the CVT so that a drive shaft torque is a predetermined torque. An engine controller controls the engine according to the command torque and a CVT controller controls the transmission according to the command drive ratio.
