Abstract
A driving force control apparatus for a hybrid vehicle includes a section for determining a target driving torque based on an accelerator opening degree and a vehicle speed a section for calculating a compensating toque for compensating for decrease in a vehicle driving force otherwise caused at the time of engagement of an engine clutch, a section for calculating a vehicle-driving motor torque by subtracting the compensating torque from a maximum motor torque, a section for instructing the engine clutch to start engagement, and a section that corrects the target driving torque to a corrected target driving torque that can be realized by the vehicle-driving motor torque after engagement of the engine clutch is started and before the engagement of the engine clutch is completed. A driving force control method is also provided.
