A vehicle and a control method are capable of generating compressed air using a motor of a hybrid vehicle so as to perform cleaning/care of the hybrid vehicle, without an additional or separate device. The vehicle includes an engine including an intake pipe provided to suck outside air and an exhaust pipe provided to discharge inside air, an opening degree control valve provided at a rear end of the exhaust pipe, and a motor configured to generate power for driving a wheel and configured to drive a piston of the engine by using a portion of the power. In response to the opening degree control valve being in a closed state, and in response to the engine being in a non-combustion state, compressed air is generated in the exhaust pipe by driving the piston of the engine with the power of the motor.

The present invention relates to an ultra-low emission stored exhaust gas-assisted internal combustion powerplant. The powerplant comprises a variable torque drive turbine connected to a piston compressor through a gearbox. The gearbox comprises a planetary or epicyclic gear to selectively direct power from the drive turbine to the compressor and at least one output shaft. The compressed air is mixed with fuel in a staged combustor, the hot exhaust gasses are used to drive the variable torque drive turbine or cooled and stored in a exhaust gasses storage system.
