Abstract
A hybrid electric vehicle control apparatus increases a speed of an engine in view of a speed of a drive motor when starting the engine, and turns on an engine clutch after identifying a self-operation of the engine, based on a disturbance torque, thereby rapidly synchronizing the engine speed and the drive motor speed and preventing waste of fuel, which in turn improves fuel efficiency.
