Abstract: The present invention is related to a vehicle including a motor-generator, a transmission, a shift hydraulic control unit, and a CVT control unit (CVTCU). When a downshift of the transmission is performed without an acceleration request from a driver, the CVTCU sets a pulley thrust at a secondary pulley on the basis of a first lower limit as a lower limit, which is a sum of a fundamental thrust and a first correction thrust. The CVTCU also sets a pulley thrust at a primary pulley on the basis of a second lower limit as a lower limit, which is a sum of the fundamental thrust and a second correction thrust.

Abstract: Provided are a variator and a transmission controller in an engine-driven vehicle. The transmission controller has an instantaneous interruption recovery control portion configured to, upon a power reset from an instantaneous interruption during running, set a target through transmission ratio and a desired through transmission ratio to a lowest transmission ratio value by initialization and perform recovery control to recover an actual through transmission ratio of the variator to a transmission ratio value for shifting to normal control. The instantaneous interruption recovery control portion is further configured to, upon the power reset from the instantaneous interruption during the running, set a change speed of the target through transmission ratio from the lowest transmission ratio value to the desired through transmission ratio, to be higher than that under the normal control, before a time at which the desired through transmission ratio value deviates from the lowest transmission ratio value.

The belt sandwiching force increasing means increases the belt sandwiching force in a range of less than the predetermined value before the braking force request occurs.

Abstract: A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle including an oil pump driven by a transmission of a rotation of the motor-generator; and a hydraulic pressure supply unit for supplying a hydraulic pressure to the continuously variable transmission. The hydraulic pressure is generated by regulating a pressure of an oil discharged from the oil pump.

The first hydraulic pressure is a hydraulic pressure to transmit an input torque input to the continuously variable transmission during the regenerative braking. The second hydraulic pressure is a hydraulic pressure to shift the continuously variable transmission during the regenerative braking.
