Abstract
An output control apparatus for a vehicle which includes a torque reduction device for reducing driving torque of an engine independent of manipulation by the driver and a filter device for outputting a corrected longitudinal direction acceleration, varying according to changes in longitudinal direction acceleration of the vehicle body with a predetermined delay time and maintaining the output during a speed shift above the value immediately before the speed shift. A reference torque setting device is further included for setting a reference driving torque according to a slip amount of the driving wheels. A target driving torque setting device is also included for correcting the reference driving torque according to the slip amount of the driving wheels to set a target driving torque. Finally, a torque control unit is included for controlling operation of the torque reduction device so that the driving torque is that of the target driving torque set by the target driving torque setting device, thereby preventing a stalling feeling of the vehicle immediately after the speed shift, and improving the acceleration feeling.
