An electrified powertrain that generates and transfers drive torque to a driveline of an electrified vehicle is provided. The electrified powertrain includes an electric drive module (EDM), and a controller. The EDM includes a first electric motor having a first output drivingly coupled to a first output shaft that drives a first drive wheel; a second electric motor having a second output selectively coupled to a second output shaft; and a clutch. The first output is coupled to the first output shaft through a differential. The second output is coupled to the second output shaft through the differential. The clutch moves between a first position that decouples the second electric motor from the second output shaft; and a second position that couples the second electric motor to the second output shaft.

A control arrangement and a method for controlling a powertrain of a medium-duty or heavy-duty vehicle. The method includes a step of, in response to one or more driver-initiated indicators, adjusting a currently predicted route for the vehicle to a new predicted route, said new predicted route being predicted in consideration of information related to the one or more driver-initiated indicators. The method further includes a step of, determining a driving strategy for an upcoming road section of the new predicted route based on characteristics of said upcoming road section. Moreover, the method includes a step of controlling the powertrain in accordance with said determined driving strategy.
