To cause a vehicle to appropriately travel with one pedal function.SOLUTION: A vehicle comprises: a common pedal that accepts an acceleration operation and a deceleration operation that follow an amount of depression with foot; and a drive force control unit in which an amount of depression with foot and drive force of the own vehicle are related such that first drive force, which is the drive force of the own vehicle corresponding to the largest amount of depression with foot, i.e., the maximum depression with foot, is lower than the maximum value of the drive force of the own vehicle and that increases the drive force of the own vehicle higher than the first drive force on the basis of the time for which the maximum depression with foot is continued. This makes it possible to cause the vehicle to appropriately travel with one pedal function.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】１ペダル機能を用いて適切に走行させる。【解決手段】車両は、踏込み量に従った加速操作および減速操作を受け付ける共通ペダルと、踏込み量が最大となる最大踏込み量に対応する自車両の駆動力である第１駆動力が自車両の駆動力の最大値よりも低くなるように、踏込み量と自車両の駆動力とが関係付けられており、最大踏込み量の継続時間に基づいて、自車両の駆動力を第１駆動力より高くさせる駆動力制御部と、を備える。これにより、１ペダル機能を用いて車両を適切に走行させることが可能となる。【選択図】図５
