Hybrid vehicle managing method, involves operating internal combustion engine with predefined load to heat catalyst for cold-starting of engine, and assisting electric motor for driving hybrid vehicle

摘要

The method involves operating an internal combustion engine (8) with predefined load to heat a catalyst (9) for cold-starting of the engine of a hybrid vehicle, where the vehicle comprises a driving installation (1) with driving units (3, 4) having an electric motor (10). The electric motor is assisted for driving the hybrid vehicle. The internal combustion engine is operated in an idle state to continue heating process of the catalyst. An independent claim is also included for a driving installation comprising a control device for managing driving units.
