Vehicle regenerative speed control device

A vehicle regenerative speed control device having a continuously variable transmission, and an electric motor that is connected to an input shaft side of the continuously variable transmission and that regenerates energy during deceleration, the regenerative speed control device comprising:

• a controller configured to perform a regenerative speed control for downshifting the continuously variable transmission to a low gear ratio side and increasing a rotational speed of a transmission input shaft to which the electric motor is connected upon receiving a request for an increase in the regeneration amount while decelerating, and
• the controller being configured to make a rotational speed change rate of a transmission input rotational speed smaller than when carrying out the regenerative speed control based on a request for an increase in the regeneration amount in a regenerative braking region, when performing the regenerative speed control for increasing the transmission input rotational speed based on a request for an increase in a regeneration amount in a brake switching region, in which regenerative braking is switched to mechanical braking due to a decrease in a vehicle speed.
