  • Patent number: 12253037
    Abstract: A method of heating catalyst through system cooperation implemented by a vehicle may enable the start of an engine of a part load among engine operation modes to heat a catalyst even in a cold quick acceleration situation with a lock-up CH control by locking up an engine clutch through system cooperation implemented by mutually exchanging information between controllers of an engine management system (EMS) and a hybrid control unit (HCU) by applying a lock-up CH control logic which retards a lock-up CH ignition angle compared to an idle CH control logic of the conventional method, thereby improving the regulation responsiveness, fuel efficiency, and merchantability relatively compared to the idle CH even while having the advantages of the idle CH in which quick lambda feedback control for an engine is possible.

  • Patent number: 11091144
    Abstract: An engine control method of a hybrid electric vehicle is provided. The method includes detecting a state of charge (SOC) of a main battery of the hybrid electric vehicle and detecting whether a brake requires operation when the main battery is in a fully-charged state or a charging-limiting state. An engine fuel cut of the hybrid electric vehicle is executed when a request for the engine brake is generated and an engine is operated to maximize an engine load of the hybrid electric vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9914450
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a technology of determining an engine friction torque even when idling of an engine is not performed, by providing a certain engine Revolutions per Minute (RPM) in stop state of the engine using Hybrid Starter & Generator (HSG) connected to an engine pulley. The present disclosure provides a technology of determining an accurate engine friction torque using a torque provided from the outside of an engine instead of a torque generated the engine itself.
