A method of controlling reverse driving of a hybrid vehicle is provided, in which a reverse gear train of a gear box of a transmission for reverse driving is omitted. When a gear stage enters a reverse stage or is changed from a drive stage to a reverse stage, an engine performs an electric energy charging function on a battery via a hybrid starter generator and a motor transmits driving power for reverse driving to travelling wheels. Accordingly, the battery is charged with electric energy and simultaneously, the motor is reversely driven based on the electric energy supplied from the battery, thereby enabling a hybrid vehicle to be more easily reversed.

A power transmission apparatus for a vehicle is disclosed. The power transmission apparatus includes a first input shaft selectively connected to an engine output shaft through a first clutch, a second input shaft configured as a hollow shaft that is disposed on the outer circumference of the first output shaft without rotational interference and selectively connected to the engine output shaft through a second clutch, a third input shaft configured as a hollow shaft that is disposed on the outer circumference of the second output shaft without rotational interference and selectively connected to the engine output shaft through a third clutch. The transmission apparatus further comprises an output shaft placed parallel to the first, second, and third input shafts at a certain distance.
