Abstract

A method of controlling a vehicle propulsion system comprising at least two motion support devices, wherein each motion support device comprises an actuator configured to apply a torque on at least one wheel of a vehicle during propulsion and to generate electric power during braking. A lumped efficiency value for the actuators is determined based on an aggregated mechanical power level at a previous point in time, an aggregated electrical power level at the previous point in time, and an estimated actuator torque distribution between the actuators, whereby a power distribution for the actuators is allocated based on the lumped efficiency value and a torque request, and control signal is transmitted to each of the at least two motion support devices to control the respective actuator based on the allocated power distribution.
