An electric machine control system for a vehicle having an electric machine arranged to be selectively couplable to provide torque to a wheel of an axle. An input receives a fault-derived coupling state request signal and a further coupling state request signal. Each coupling state request signal is indicative of a request for a coupling state of the electric machine to the wheel of the axle. A processor determines the coupling state of the electric machine to the wheel of the axle in dependence on the fault-derived coupling state request signal and the further coupling state request signal. The processor determines the coupling state of the electric machine in precedence on the fault-derived coupling state request signal over the further coupling state request signal. A coupling signal indicative of the determined coupling state is output to control coupling of the electric machine to the wheel of the axle.
An electric machine control system for a vehicle, the electric machine control system comprising one or more controllers, wherein the vehicle comprises an electric machine arranged to be selectively coupleable to provide torque to at least one wheel of an axle of the vehicle, the control system comprising:
A method controlling coupling of an electric machine to provide torque to at least one wheel of an axle of a vehicle, the method comprising:
