The limited amount of energy stored on board of battery electric vehicles (BEV) spurs research activities in the field of efficiency\r\noptimization for electric drive train applications in order to achieve an enhanced mileage. In this work a control method for BEV\r\napplications with two drive trains (e.g., one at the front and one at the rear axle) is presented.Herein, a simple optimization algorithm\r\nis introduced enabling to operate the two drives with different torque values, depending on the instantaneous operation point,\r\nleading to a reduction of apparent power losses on board. Simulations on a virtual BEV yield a decrease in the cumulated energy\r\nconsumptions during typical BEV operation, leading to an increase in the achievable mileage.
