Abstract
A vehicle control device includes an engine and a clutch configured to connect and disconnect a power transmission path between the engine and a drive wheel according to a supplied hydraulic pressure. The vehicle control device is configured to carry out neutral control that controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the clutch to an N control study value for placing the clutch in a semi-engaged state while a vehicle stops and inertia control (free-run control, deceleration eco-run control, and N inertia control) that carries out an inertia travelling by releasing the clutch while the vehicle travels. At the time that the inertia control is executed, the vehicle control device controls the hydraulic pressure supplied to the clutch to the same value as the N control study value.
