Rough terrain vehicle

A rough terrain vehicle having an engine and an accelerator operating unit operated by a vehicle occupant, comprising:

• a twin-clutch type automatic transmission configured to transmit an output of the engine to vehicle wheels;
• a clutch operating unit operated by the vehicle occupant;
• and
• a control unit configured to control traveling of the rough terrain vehicle, by controlling the engine and the twin-clutch type automatic transmission on basis of operations of the accelerator operating unit and/or the clutch operating unit by the vehicle occupant;
• wherein the control unit:
• at a time of preparing to start movement of the rough terrain vehicle, in a case that the clutch operating unit and the accelerator operating unit are operated, disengages a clutch of the twin-clutch type automatic transmission and causes the output of the engine to increase;
• and
• whereas at a time of starting movement of the rough terrain vehicle, in a case that operation of the clutch operating unit is canceled, engages the clutch and transmits the output of the engine from the engine to the vehicle wheels via the twin-clutch type automatic transmission, to thereby start movement of the rough terrain vehicle.
