A catalyst preheat control unit 29 for a vehicle (1, Fig. 1) having an internal combustion engine 2, an exhaust conduit 3, a first catalyst 21 disposed in exhaust conduit 3 for treating exhaust gas, an electric heating element 20 disposed in exhaust conduit 3 upstream of first catalyst 21, and pumping means for pumping air past said electric heating element 20. The catalyst preheat control unit 29 includes at least one processor 30 configured to control said electric heating element 20 to preheat the first catalyst 21 and a memory device having instructions stored therein and coupled to the processor 30 which is configured to determine a temperature of the first catalyst 21 and to output an engine start request signal S2 when the determined temperature of the first catalyst 21 is greater than or equal to a predetermined temperature. The present disclosure also relates to a method of controlling preheating of a first catalyst and to a vehicle having a catalyst preheat control unit.
