A method and a system for a drive control of a vehicle, the method for the drive control of the vehicle includes: obtaining request information reflecting a power demand of a user on the vehicle and performance information reflecting a power performance of the vehicle; determining whether the vehicle meets a condition for activating a parallel operation mode according to the request information and the performance information when a result of comparison between the request information and the performance information indicates that the vehicle power performance cannot meet the power demand of the user on the vehicle; and activating the parallel operation mode of the vehicle in order that the vehicle outputs a power that meets the power demand of the user on the vehicle in the parallel operation mode, when the vehicle meets the condition for activating the parallel operation mode.

A method for controlling a powertrain of a hybrid vehicle includes the following steps performed by a hybrid controller: determining whether an ambient air temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature; driving a motor and operating a heating disc of an electrically heated catalytic converter disposed in an exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine during a predetermined operating time when an ambient air temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature; supplying ambient air to the heating disc; and varying a flow rate of the ambient air supplied to the heating disc in response to a temperature change of the heating disc.

An electric machine a stator having a stator core and windings positioned thereon. The stator core has a plurality of slots formed therein and a winding positioned in the plurality of slots. The winding includes at least four parallel paths distributed in slot sets of the stator core. Each slot set includes at least four contiguous slots including two left slots and two right slots. A first parallel path and a second parallel path are arranged in the two left slots for at least a first revolution of the winding around the core.

An electronic control unit is configured to select one of a series mode, a series-parallel mode and a parallel mode as a running mode. A load level of a hybrid vehicle is set to a value that is high in the order of a load level at which the parallel mode is selected, a load level at which the series-parallel mode is selected, and a load level at which the series mode is selected. That is, the electronic control unit selects the series-parallel mode in an intermediate load region, selects the series mode in a low load region, and selects the parallel mode in a high load region.
