Abstract

A vehicle comprising an engine arranged to apply a torque to a first wheel for moving the vehicle;an electric motor arranged to apply a torque to a second wheel for moving the vehicle; means for determining the torque applied by the engine to the first wheel; and a controller arranged to control the application of torque applied to the second wheel by the electric motor based upon the torque applied by the engine to the first wheel.
