A dual motor drive assembly comprising a housing, a shaft rotatably mounted to the housing, a first gear rotatably connected to the shaft, first and second motors, each having an output driving a respective output gear, the output gears being engaged with the first gear, a torque allocation arrangement for allocating torque demands to each of the first and second motors, a measurement arrangement for measuring first and second temperature relating to the first and second motors respectively, a torque limit allocation arrangement for allocating a maximum torque limit based on the first and second temperature respectively, wherein a maximum total torque is equal to the sum of maximum torque limits of the first and second motors, wherein in a first mode the allocated torque demand to each of the motors is to provide opposing torques to the shaft, and in a second mode to provide torques in the same direction to the shaft, wherein the torque demand allocations change from the first mode to the second mode at a threshold total torque value, and the threshold total torque value is adjustable based on the maximum total torque.
