ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a vehicle control apparatus constructed so that during the control of a downshift for deceleration, braking shocks can be reduced and the amount of energy regenerated can be increased, and a hybrid vehicle equipped with the control apparatus.The hybrid vehicle1includes wheels14, an engine12, a motor11, a multi-stage transmission20that reduces motor torque and transmits the reduced torque to the wheels, and a brake15that brakes the wheels. During deceleration downshift control, a hybrid control module100provides distribution control of the regenerative torque of the motor11and the braking torque of the brake15so that the total braking force of the vehicle during gear shifting matches a target value.
