A control system, a switch and a control method for a hybrid vehicle, the vehicle operable in a hybrid mode where a combustion engine and an electric motor can be used, and in an electric mode where only the electric motor can be used. The control system includes a propulsion mode control module configured to control the vehicle to operate in one of the hybrid mode and the electric mode. The propulsion mode control module is further configured to verify that the vehicle has been in an off-state for a predetermined period of time before switching from the hybrid mode to the electric mode.

A motor assembly comprises an electric power train that is adapted to be connected to a power source and is also adapted to impart a torque to a wheel when the motor assembly is operating. The assembly further comprises a power determination means adapted to determine the amount of power supplied from the power source to the electric power train when the motor assembly is operating. In addition, the assembly comprises a rotational speed determination means adapted to determine a rotational speed of the wheel when the motor assembly is operating. Moreover, the assembly comprises a torque determination means adapted to determine a command torque value indicative of a requested torque to the wheel.

Motor assembly
