A system is described. The system comprises: a double-fed induction machine (DFIM) coupled to a first axle drive; a first electric machine coupled to a second axle drive; a power supply that supplies a first power to the first electric machine; and a controller. The controller provides the first power to a stator of the DFIM; converts the first power to a second power through a converter based on a message from a sensor module; and supplies the second power to a rotor of the DFIM. In an embodiment, supplying the first power to the first electric machine obtains a first speed and a first torque from the first electric machine on the second axle drive; and supplying the first power and the second power to the stator and the rotor respectively obtains a second speed and a second torque from the DFIM on the first axle drive.
