Abstract
Predetermined torque characteristics are obtained by multiplying by a predetermined ratio that is less than 100%, the upper value of engine output torque from the engine output torque line, for at least part of the range of engine rotation speed. Torque upper value information defines the upper value of engine output torque that changes in conformance with vehicle speed and tractive farce. When predetermined conditions for determination are satisfied, an engine output torque control part controls engine output torque based on torque upper value information. The predetermined conditions for determination at the least include that a travel condition is forward travel, that a work condition is laden condition and that a raise operation is being performed by the working machine. When the predetermined conditions for determination are not satisfied the engine output torque control part controls engine output torque based on predetermined torque characteristics.
