Abstract
A vehicle control device includes a diesel engine, a motor configured to drive a vehicle, a generator configured to generate alternating-current power with an output of the diesel engine, a power storage device configured to charge and discharge direct-current power, a converter configured to convert the alternating-current power generated by the generator into direct-current power and output the direct-current power, and an inverter configured to convert the direct-current power discharged by the power storage device or the direct-current power output by the converter to drive the motor. The converter operates as an inverter during a breakdown of the inverter and drives the motor.
