Abstract: Provided is a control apparatus for vehicle that enables a driver to activate and deactivate a freewheeling mode at his/her discretion. A control apparatus 1 for vehicle switches the vehicle to a freewheeling mode in which power generated by an engine 2 of the vehicle is not transmitted to drive shafts 7 of the vehicle. The control apparatus 1 for vehicle includes: a decelerator having a plurality of deceleration gear stages for changing deceleration of the vehicle; and a manipulator 10 provided on steering 11 of the vehicle and configured to allow selection of the freewheeling mode in accordance with an operation performed by a driver. The vehicle transitions to the freewheeling mode upon the freewheeling mode being selected through an operation of the manipulator 10.

Abstract: Provided is a control apparatus for vehicle that improves operability for a driver. A control apparatus for vehicle switches the vehicle to a freewheeling mode in which power generated by an engine is not transmitted to drive shafts. The control apparatus for vehicle includes: a motor; a battery; friction brake equipment that generates frictional braking force on the vehicle; a temperature sensor that acquires temperature of the friction brake equipment; and a determiner that assesses the temperature of the friction brake equipment acquired by the temperature sensor. The friction brake equipment generates the friction braking force when the battery is fully charged. The freewheeling mode is deactivated in a case where the temperature of the friction brake equipment exceeds a predetermined temperature while the battery is fully charged and the vehicle is in the freewheeling mode.
