Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed herein a method for upshifting the transmission of a vehicle using shift entry prediction. The method may comprise predicting whether or not an upshift request of a vehicle will occur, determining whether or not a charge demand required for a battery through regeneration for upshift is greater than an allowable charge amount of the battery when the upshift request is predicted, controlling power consumption of the battery when the charge demand is greater than the allowable charge amount, and processing the upshift in response to an actual request of the upshift.
