Apparatus and method for active transmission synchronization and shifting

The method of providing a propulsion force for a hybrid vehicle, comprising:

• a) providing a first driving force to at least one wheel of said hybrid vehicle, said first driving force being generated by an internal combustion engine coupled to an automated manual transmission;
• b) anticipating torque drop-offs or oscillations associated with the shifting of said automated manual transmission;
• and
• c) providing a second driving force to another wheel of said hybrid vehicle, said second driving force prevents said torque drop-offs or oscillations.

A propulsion system for use in a hybrid vehicle, comprising:

• a) a first propulsion system being configured and positioned to provide a driving force to at least one wheel of said vehicle;
• b) a second propulsion system being configured and positioned to provide a driving force to another wheel of said vehicle;
• c) a second propulsion system controller for actuating said second propulsion system;
• and
• d) a system controller for actuating said first propulsion system and providing command request to said second propulsion control system, said system controller utilizes a control algorithm for determining the necessary commands to be provided to said first and second propulsion systems so as to provide said hybrid vehicle with a continuous driving force.
