Abstract
In a driving force control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle, it is configured that an engine ECU () can set a target engine rotational number by using a fuel consumption optimal operation-line based on an operating state of the hybrid vehicle, a main ECU () can set target output torque of an engine () and an electric motor () based on the operating state of the hybrid vehicle and the target engine rotational number, and the engine ECU () and a motor ECU () can control the engine () and the electric motor () based on the target engine rotational number and the target output torque, and when there is a torque down command in the main ECU (), the engine ECU () sets the target engine rotational number to be higher than the target engine rotational number set by using the fuel consumption optimal operation-line, thereby improving followability of torque up control after torque down control to improve controllability.
