A system and method for operating a hybrid vehicle that shuts down an internal combustion engine during idle and slow speed operations and instead drives a power transmission with an electric traction motor. A vehicle operating at higher speeds, under increased operating demands, or other operating conditions automatically switches from electric propulsion to internal combustion engine propulsion. This operational mode is configurable and at all times seamless to the driver and vehicle operations. By designating the low speed, low demand operation of the vehicle to the more efficient electric mode, fuel consumption can be reduced, and overall vehicle efficiency can be maximized.
