Abstract

A system and method for opening an engine clutch of a hybrid vehicle are provided. The method and system enhance fuel efficiency by saving a fuel injection amount based on a fuel injection time of an engine, by adjusting an input torque of an engine clutch to be zero by applying a Hybrid Starter Generator (HSG) torque connected to the engine while reducing the fuel injection time into the engine from the time when the opening of the engine clutch starts to adjust.
