    Wait why would you need two engines? Or are you counting the diesel generator as one and the electric motor as one?

      Yup. A diesel generator is an engine. It’s just hooked to an alternator instead of a transmission.

        Yeah I wasn’t confused by the diesel generator, but typically electric motors are smaller and simple enough that they’re not considered an engine.
