Abstract
A double clutch transmission is described that ideally changes torque received from an engine and a motor by providing an optimal layout in power transmission scheme and motor location. Such a double clutch transmission is optimally adapted to a hybrid electric vehicle, and an optimal operation method for such a double clutch transmission is also provided, overcoming inefficiency in application of a conventional CVT to an HEV.

9. A method for controlling a double clutch transmission for a hybrid electric vehicle, comprising:
-
determining an operation mode among an electric vehicle (EV) mode wherein only a torque of a motor is changed and output, a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) mode wherein both torque of the motor and an engine are changed and output, and a regenerative braking (RB) mode wherein braking and inertial energy of the hybrid electric vehicle is reclaimed by electric generation of the motor; and
operating the double clutch transmission in accordance with the determined operation mode. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
