Abstract
An exemplary powertrain assembly includes a first electric machine that selectively drives one or more wheel driveshafts, and a second electric machine that, through a manual transmission, selectively drives one or more wheel driveshafts. An engine, through the manual transmission, selectively drives the same wheel driveshaft selectively driven by the second electric machine. An exemplary vehicle control method includes, in an automatic transmission mode, selectively driving a wheel driveshaft with torque from a first electric machine, and selectively rotating a second electric machine with an engine. The second electric machine generates electric power that is supplied to the first electric machine. In a manual transmission mode, the method selectively applies torque to a wheel driveshaft with torque from an engine that is moved through a manual transmission.
