COAST STOP VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING COAST STOP VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coast stop vehicle improved in acceleration performance, and a method for controlling the coast stop vehicle.SOLUTION: The coast stop vehicle for automatically stopping a drive source 1 when a predetermined condition is established during the travel of the vehicle includes: a drive source control unit 12 to control the automatic stop and the restart of the drive source 1; a transmission mechanism 4 provided between the drive source 1 and drive wheels 7; and a transmission control unit 12 to control a speed ratio of the transmission mechanism 4. When the drive source 1 is restarted, the transmission control unit 12 controls the transmission mechanism 4 to a speed ratio higher than a predetermined speed ratio in response to an input shift request to the predetermined speed ratio, and the drive source control unit 12 restarts the drive source 1 in a state that the speed ratio of the transmission mechanism 4 is higher than the predetermined speed ratio.
