Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a control system (200) for an electric machine (120) of a vehicle, the control system comprising one or more controllers, the control system comprising input means (230) to receive a torque communication signal (255) indicative of torque communication through a belt (130) associated with the electric machine, processing means (210) arranged to determine a torque limit for the electric machine in dependence on the torque communication signal and a first torque threshold, and output means (240) arranged to output a torque limit signal (245) in dependence on the torque limit to control the torque communicated through the belt associated with the electric machine.
