A control system for a vehicle, having drive sections (104, 107, 109),
a
power supply section (101, 103, 107, 109) including an electric power storage
unit to supply power to the drive section, includes a demanded power calculating
section (1) calculating a demanded drive power required for driving the
vehicle, an allowable drive electric power output calculating section (2)
calculating allowable drive electric power output of the electric power storage
unit necessary for compensating a delayed response of the power supply section
with respect to a variation in the demanded power, an available electric power
output calculating section (3) calculating available electric power output
of the electric power storage unit on the basis of a stage of charge of the electric
power storage unit, and a target power calculating unit (4, 7, 9) calculating
target power to be produced by the power supply section on the basis of the demanded
drive power, allowable drive electric power output and available electric power output.
