    Abstract: A method performed by a control device (200, 300) of a vehicle (1), for operating the vehicle (1). The vehicle (1) comprises at least one functional module (40), two or more drive modules (30), wherein the drive modules (30) are configured to be autonomously operated, are individually associated with an individual set of energy parameters and wherein at least one drive module (30) has a gear ratio being different from any other gear ratio of any other drive module (30). The drive modules (30) respectively comprises a pair of wheels (32), at least one electrical motor arranged for operating the pair of wheels (32) and at least one interface (50) releasably connected to a corresponding interface (50) on the functional module (40). The method comprises obtaining (S1) route information describing a planned route of the vehicle (1) and determining (S3) a distribution of a requested driving torque between the respective at least one electrical motors of the two or more drive modules (30) for operating the vehicle (1) along the route based on the route information and the individual sets of energy parameters in order to meet energy criteria. The method also comprises controlling (S4) the two or more drive modules (30) to produce the requested driving torque, in accordance with the determined distribution. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding control device (100, 200, 300), to a vehicle (1) comprising a control device (200, 300), to a computer program and a computer-readable medium.
