Abstract

A method for compensating for the torque response of an internal combustion engine having a compressor coupled thereto for boosting cylinder air amount is presented. According to the method, a motor of a hybrid vehicle may assist the internal combustion engine to improve vehicle response. The method may improve driver perception of vehicle response and may reduce lag that can be associated with operating an engine having a compressor.
