Launch control method for hybrid vehicle

A launch control method for a hybrid vehicle having a slip element on which a slip control is performable between a motor and a transmission, the launch control method comprising:

• determining, by a hybrid control unit (HCU), an intent of a driver to execute a launch control mode in a state in which an engine is turned on and in an idle state;
• when the intent of the driver is to execute the launch control mode, performing, by an engine control unit (ECU) which has received a speed command from the hybrid control unit (HCU), an engine speed control;
• performing, by a transmission control unit (TCU) operating cooperatively with the HCU, a slip control on the slip element of a transmission input terminal;
• when an engine speed is synchronized with a motor speed or a difference between the engine speed and the motor speed is less than a predetermined range, locking up, by the HCU, an engine clutch;
• when the engine clutch is locked up, performing, by the ECU, an engine pre-boosting control to raise an engine torque to a torque at which battery charging is available due to the motor;
• performing, by the TCU, a take-up control on the slip element;
• and
• when the take-up control is terminated, locking up, by the TCU, the slip element.
