A drive configuration (10B) for a skid steered vehicle comprises first and second torque outputs (14L, 14R) coupled by a differential (13) and in a torque connection with first and second electric motors (12L, 12R), the differential being configured to mechanically transfer power across itself; and a mechanical power splitter (48L) having a first torque transfer feature (54L) in a torque connection with a combustion engine (35), a second torque transfer feature (50L) in a torque connection with a respective additional electric motor (52L) and a third torque transfer feature (49L) in a torque connection with at least one of the first and second torque outputs (14L) of the drive configuration, wherein torque output from the or each said mechanical power splitter (48, 48R) in use is dependent on torques generated by the combustion engine (35) and the associated additional electric motor (52L).
