Title:
VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD AND VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/249991
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An under-floor catalyst (33) comprises an electrically heated catalyst (40), a GPF (41) positioned downstream from the electrically heated catalyst (40), and a downstream catalyst (42) positioned downstream from the GPF (41). When an internal combustion engine (10) stops during travel a vehicle (1) energizes the electrically heated catalyst (40), thereby warming the downstream catalyst (42). Thus, the vehicle (1) does not require energy for rotating the internal combustion engine (10) in order to regenerate the GPF (41). In other words, the vehicle (1) is able to regenerate the GPF (41) while reducing the energy consumption of the internal combustion engine (10).
