TRUCK AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING ELECTRIC DRIVE MOTOR FOR DRIVING MOUNTED ON TRUCK
When a stepping amount of an accelerator pedal is 0%, torque Ta is generated with the rotating speed being zero. When retreat is occurred in the slope start, the rotating speed is reduced. When the rotating speed is reduced, the torque is increased. Thus, the retreating force finally matches the propulsion force. As a result, the retreat becomes uniform motion. The decision of torque in such a manner does not require a value of a vehicle weight.
