HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND METHOD OF DRIVING CONTROL FOR SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18137513 titled 'HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND METHOD OF DRIVING CONTROL FOR SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for controlling a hybrid electric vehicle to improve fuel efficiency when engine start is required. This involves inhibiting engine injection when there is an engine start request and certain conditions are met, performing engine injection when allowable conditions are met, and controlling reaction force through a motor directly connected to the engine.

  • Inhibiting engine injection when engine start is requested and specific conditions are met
  • Performing engine injection when allowable conditions are met, with injection inhibited
  • Controlling reaction force through a motor directly connected to the engine

Original Abstract Submitted

A hybrid electric vehicle controlling a fuel injection point-in-time and a method of controlling driving of the hybrid electric vehicle such that fuel efficiency is improved when engine start is required. The method of controlling driving of the hybrid electric vehicle may include: inhibiting engine injection when there is an engine start request and a control entry condition is satisfied, performing the engine injection when an injection allowable condition is satisfied with the engine injection inhibited, and performing reaction force control along with the engine injection through a first motor directly connected to the engine.
