HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND METHOD OF MOTOR CONTROL FOR THE SAME

A hybrid vehicle (HEV) provides an improved sensation of acceleration. An example method for controlling an engine of an HEV which includes a first motor directly connected to an engine and a second motor located at an input side of a transmission, may include determining a requested torque, determining a compensation torque for compensating an acceleration loss in a shift process based on the requested torque, a torque of the second motor, a torque of the engine and information on the shift, determining an available torque of the first motor, and determining a final torque of the first motor based on the compensation torque and the available torque.
