Propulsion system having multiple motors with complementary torque bands

A vehicle propulsion system comprising:

• a first electric machine including a first set of machine windings that are configured to cause a rotor to rotate about an axis to selectively drive a first transmission during a first vehicle operating state;
• a second electric machine including a second set of machine windings that are configured to cause a rotor to rotate about an axis selectively drive a second transmission during a second vehicle operating state, the second vehicle operating state different from the first operating state and the second transmission different from the first transmission;
• and
• a controller operatively connected to the first electric machine and the second electric machine, wherein the controller is configured to transmit control signals to the first electric machine during the first vehicle operating state to cause the first electric machine to drive the transmission,
• wherein a total number of series turns per phase for the first set of machine windings is different from a total number of series turns per phase for the second set of machine windings.
