Vehicle
A vehicle includes a main drive unit, a sub drive unit, and a control unit. The control unit includes a driving force distribution ratio setting unit and is configured to control the main drive unit and the sub drive unit. A drive mode of the main drive unit includes an electric power drive mode and an engine drive mode. The driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to set the driving force distribution ratio based on a vehicle speed, a required driving force, and the drive mode. When the drive mode is the engine drive mode, the driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to set the driving force distribution ratio so that a distribution ratio of the main driving force is 90% or more.
1. A vehicle comprising:
a main drive unit configured to output a main driving force for driving one of a front wheel and a rear wheel;
a sub drive unit configured to output a sub driving force for driving the other of the front wheel and the rear wheel; and
a control unit configured to control the main drive unit and the sub drive unit, wherein:
the main drive unit includes an internal combustion engine and at least one main drive rotary electric machine;
the sub drive unit includes at least one sub drive rotary electric machine;
the control unit includes a driving force distribution ratio setting unit configured to set a driving force distribution ratio between the main driving force and the sub driving force and is configured to control the main drive unit and the sub drive unit so that the main driving force and the sub driving force have the driving force distribution ratio set by the driving force distribution ratio setting unit;
a drive mode of the main drive unit includes an electric power drive mode, in which a driving force of the main drive rotary electric machine is output as the main driving force, and an engine drive mode, in which a driving force of the internal combustion engine is output as the main driving force;
the driving force distribution ratio setting unit stores a first driving force distribution ratio map of the electric power drive mode and a second driving force distribution ratio map of the engine drive mode;
when the drive mode of the main drive unit is the electric power drive mode, the driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to set the driving force distribution ratio based on a vehicle speed of the vehicle, a required driving force of the vehicle, and the first driving force distribution ratio map;
when the drive mode of the main drive unit is the engine drive mode, the driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to set the driving force distribution ratio based on a vehicle speed of the vehicle, a required driving force of the vehicle, and the second driving force distribution ratio map; and
when the drive mode of the main drive unit is the engine drive mode, the driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to set the driving force distribution ratio so that a distribution ratio of the main driving force is 90% or more based on the second driving distribution ratio map.
2. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to determine the driving force distribution ratio so that a distribution ratio of the sub driving force becomes zero when the drive mode of the main drive unit is the engine drive mode.
3. The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein
the driving force distribution ratio setting unit is configured to determine the driving force distribution ratio so that a ratio of the main driving force is 50% or more.
