A hybrid vehicle includes active air flaps provided on a front-end module and a controller that controls the active air flaps based on a coolant temperature according to an outdoor air temperature, an inverter temperature of a drive motor according to an outdoor air temperature, an inverter temperature of an starter-generator according to an outdoor air temperature, a temperature of a low DC converter according to an outdoor air temperature, a transmission oil temperature according to an outdoor air temperature, or an engine oil temperature according to an outdoor air temperature, controls the active air flaps based on a refrigerant pressure according to an outdoor air temperature, controls the active air flaps based on an operation mode of a cooling fan, or controls the active air flaps based on an intake temperature according to an outdoor air temperature for each of driving modes of the vehicle.

Hybrid vehicle including active air flap

Disclosed herein is a vehicle and a vehicle controlling method, the purpose is to optimize the control of engine, a heater, and an air conditioner based on running load of the vehicle. In accordance of the present embodiment, a vehicle controlling method of a vehicle including an engine, a heater, and an air conditioner, the method includes determining required heating, latent engine heat, and running load of the vehicle and determining a driving pattern of the vehicle based on the required heating, the latent engine heat, and the running load of the vehicle.

Vehicle and method of controlling the same

A method for identifying a driving pattern for fuel economy improvement of a hybrid vehicle is provided. The method includes allocating priorities in accordance with influences exerted on fuel economy based on a heating load and an electric load. A current driving pattern is then selected in the order of a high heating load driving pattern, a high electric load driving pattern, an aggressive driving pattern, a high speed driving pattern, and a city driving pattern.

Method for identifying driving pattern of hybrid vehicle

A motor speed control method and system for improving the performance of a running resistance evaluation of a hybrid electric vehicle are provided. The method includes determining whether a vehicle satisfies a running resistance evaluation start condition. When the vehicle satisfies the running resistance evaluation start condition, the speed of a motor is adjusted, which adjusts an input speed of a transmission to be equal to an output speed of the transmission. A speed adjustment of the motor is then completed using the speed of the motor and the output speed of the transmission.
