ECO-FRIENDLY VEHICLE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING DRIVING FORCE FOR THE SAME

A method of distributing driving force of a four wheel drive (4WD) eco-friendly vehicle includes determining a first allowable range of driving force for each driving force based on determination of travel stability, determining a second allowable range of driving force for each driving wheel based on system limitations of at least one of the first driving source or the second driving source, determining a range of available driving force of the first driving wheel based on the first allowable range of driving force and the second allowable range of driving force, determining first target driving force of the first driving wheel in consideration of efficiency of the first driving source within the range of available driving force, and determining second target driving force of the second driving wheel based on the first target driving force and requested torque.
