Publication number: 20230219558Abstract: A driving force control system for a vehicle that eliminates backlash in torque transmission paths when decelerating or stopping the vehicle. In the vehicle, a differential unit reverses a torque delivered from a motor to a second output shaft. A controller generates a drive torque by an engine and a control torque by the motor when stopping or decelerating the vehicle. Consequently, a difference between torque delivered from the engine to a first output shaft and torque delivered from the motor to the first output shaft is increased to a first predetermined torque or greater, and torque delivered from the motor to the second output shaft is increased to a second predetermined torque or greater.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yu INASE, Akira IJICHI, Yoshio ITOU, Taichi KOBAYASHI, Kunihiko USUI
