Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a lubricating system for a vehicle transmission component. The system comprises a lubricating circuit (44) for supplying lubricant to a transmission component, the circuit (44) including a reservoir (46), a supply path for supplying lubricant from the reservoir (46) to the transmission component, and a return path for returning lubricant from the transmission component to the reservoir (46). The system also comprises an electrical pump (52) for pumping lubricant from the reservoir (46) to the transmission component and a controller (56) arranged to monitor a driving condition and configure the electrical pump (52) to pump a predetermined flow rate of lubricant to the transmission component based on the current driving condition.
