A vehicle includes a power supply including a battery, a display, a storage configured to store a power matching data, and a fuel efficiency matching data, and a controller configured to determine driving power supplied by the battery, determine a current driving fuel efficiency corresponding to a reference weight based on the driving power and the power matching data, determine the current weight of the vehicle, determine a first fuel efficiency based on an accumulated driving fuel efficiency accumulated from a previous charging time point to a current charging time point and the current driving fuel efficiency at the current charging time point, determine a second fuel efficiency based on the fuel efficiency matching data and the first fuel efficiency corresponding to each of the existing weight and the current weight, determine the estimated driving distance of the vehicle based on the charging capacity of the battery and the second fuel efficiency, and output the estimated driving distance to the display.

Vehicle and control method thereof

The present disclosure provides a cooling system including a decelerator and a cooling line provided in a gear housing to cool at least one of a gear and a lubricant. The cooling system is configured to control the temperature of the lubricant inside the decelerator by circulating a coolant through the cooling line. The decelerator includes a gear set including the gear and the lubricant for accommodating a backlash and a gear housing configured to surround the gear set for transmitting a torque output from an electric motor through the decelerator to a drive shaft and vehicle wheels.

Decelerator cooling system and method of controlling the same

An apparatus for providing a route of an electric vehicle and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes a processor that estimates a weight of a vehicle when guiding a user along a route to a destination, calculates a driving load for each route section using the estimated weight of the vehicle, calculates a driving force using motor torque, and determines a probability of hill climbing for each route section using the driving force and the driving load and a display that is controlled by the processor to display at least one of a driving load for each route section or a probability of hill climbing according to a driving force for each route section.

Apparatus for providing route based on estimated weight of electric vehicle and method thereof

A vehicle includes a plurality of wheels; a motor configured to apply a driving force to the plurality of wheels; a rain detector configured to detect a precipitation; a temperature detector configured to detect outside temperature; and a controller configured to control a torque of the motor based on the precipitation detected by the rain detector and the outside temperature detected by the temperature detector.

Vehicle and method of controlling the same

The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for controlling a vibration of a driving motor in a vehicle by generating a vibration reduction torque using gains that correspond to a torque variation and an RPM of a driving motor. The method includes storing a gain table in which gain values that correspond to a torque variation and a revolution per minute (RPM) of a driving motor in a vehicle are recorded. The torque variation of the driving motor and the RPM of the driving motor are detected. The gain values are determined using the detected torque variation and RPM of the driving motor based on the gain table and reducing. In addition, a vibration of the driving motor is reduced based on the determined gain values.
