They can manage on one engine but they're much slower. If it's hot you also risk the remaining engine overheating and conking out as well.
Our 156s and 158s now have remote supply switches so the vehicles can cross feed each other electricity, only powers essential systems in the cab and head and tail lights though. No saloon lighting or air conditioning, that only lasts as long as the batteries.
It's intended to get you home without losing all power and having to put an emergency head or tail light on.
I once had to work a 158 on one engine from Thetford to Nottingham with a flashing tail lamp on the back and it was a very tedious journey.
