A multi-engine powertrain control system apparatus and method for activating and engaging a second, third, fourth, or more engines into a powertrain of a vehicle, vessel, or powerhouse, while running, without interruption, as needed under changing conditions requiring more power, and disengaging and de-activating engines when not needed, in order to conserve energy. The invention further provides real-time sensing of powertrain conditions and external conditions, provides pre-set parameters with user override, provides automatic engagement and disengagement based on real-time conditions, and provides for continued operation in the event of an engine's failure.
