A driveline arrangement, comprising a first internal combustion engine, a second internal combustion engine, and a transmission arrangement comprising a first input shaft drivingly connected to a first crank shaft of the first internal combustion engine, and a second input shaft drivingly connected to the second crank shaft of the second internal combustion engine, the transmission arrangement being configured to simultaneously receive a torque from the first and second crank shafts. Further, control circuitry of a control unit is configured to control the first internal combustion engine to assume a combustion stage at a different point in time compared to the point in time at which the second internal combustion engine assumes its combustion stage by adjusting a crank angle degree of the first crank shaft.
