Vehicle control device

Abstract

To provide a control device that enables responsiveness to an accelerator operation to be secured while suppressing the occurrence of shock even if the accelerator is operated during a switching operation of a mechanical transmission device to a driving position, in a vehicle equipped with an electric motor and the mechanical transmission device.SOLUTION: Even when an accelerator is operated by a driver during execution of quick garage control CTgq and before start of backlash elimination control CTp, a garage control unit 94a continues the quick garage control CTgq, so that resultant shock is suppressed during interruption of the quick garage control CTgq. Meanwhile, an MG rotational speed Nm of an electric motor MG is increased without executing the backlash elimination control CTp executed during a transitional period in which the MG rotational speed Nm of the electric motor MG is increased, responsiveness to the accelerator operation can be advanced according to the increase. It is therefore possible to achieve both suppression of shock that may occur during a switching operation and responsiveness to the accelerator operation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
