A driving force control system for a vehicle that eliminates backlash in torque transmission paths when decelerating or stopping the vehicle. In the vehicle, a differential unit reverses a torque delivered from a motor to a second output shaft. A controller generates a drive torque by an engine and a control torque by the motor when stopping or decelerating the vehicle. Consequently, a difference between torque delivered from the engine to a first output shaft and torque delivered from the motor to the first output shaft is increased to a first predetermined torque or greater, and torque delivered from the motor to the second output shaft is increased to a second predetermined torque or greater.

Responsive to a user request, a controller operates an engine of a vehicle while parked to charge a traction battery to a target state of charge that exceeds a maximum state of charge limit, used during drive of the vehicle by an electric machine, in advance of a predefined period of time.

A vehicle transport planning device includes a transport proposal unit that proposes, to an occupant of a vehicle equipped with an internal combustion engine, transport of the vehicle in a predetermined area where driving of the internal combustion engine is prohibited or restricted, and a transport arrangement unit that requests arrangement of a vehicle transport device for transporting the vehicle when the occupant desires the transport of the vehicle.

A vehicular breaking force control system that includes a control device including a processor that acquires a plurality of longitudinal accelerations from a driving assistance system, and calculates a driving/braking request when the vehicle is in a coasting state in which an acceleration operation or a deceleration operation are not performed during running of the vehicle. The processor further acquires a driving force lower limit set for a powertrain actuator having a set gear ratio, and distributes the driving/braking request to at least one of (i) a powertrain system including the powertrain actuator and (ii) a brake system including a brake actuator.
