Abstract
An electric machine control system and method for a vehicle, where an electric machine is arranged to be selectively coupleable to provide torque to at least one wheel of an axle of the vehicle. The control system comprises input means to receive at least one attribute signal indicative of one or more attributes of the vehicle, output means arranged to output a coupling signal to control coupling of the electric machine to the at least one wheel, and processing means arranged to determine a coupling state of the electric machine to the at least one wheel in dependence on the at least one attribute signal. The coupling signal is indicative of a change in the coupling state, and output of the coupling signal is deferred until expiry of a predetermined period of time since a last change in the coupling state indicated by the coupling signal.
