Abstract
In a vehicle control apparatus that cuts off fuel supply during deceleration and engages a lockup clutch, it is determined whether a condition that enables to reduce load of the generator is established, and a desired power generation value of the generator is set to a first voltage value and a disengaging vehicle speed at which the lockup clutch is to be disengaged is set to a first vehicle speed when it is determined that the condition is not established, while the desired power generation value of the generator is set to a second voltage value that is determined based on a detected vehicle speed and the disengaging vehicle speed is set to a second vehicle speed that is lower than the first vehicle speed when it is determined that the condition is established, thereby enhancing fuel consumption performance and giving appropriate performance.
