Abstract
A power transmission apparatus includes a continuously variable transmission, a clutch, a drive condition determination device, an input torque calculator, a belt transfer torque calculator, and a clutch transfer torque controller. The continuously variable transmission includes a drive pulley, a driven pulley, and a belt. The clutch transfer torque controller controls a transfer torque of the clutch so that the transfer torque of the clutch is higher than or equal to an input torque calculated by the input torque calculator and is lower than a transfer torque of the belt calculated by the belt transfer torque calculator if it is determined that the vehicle is under a drive condition.
