Abstract

An antilock brake system which decreases a braking pressure to prevent drive wheels from locking is applied to a hybrid vehicle wherein an engine and a motor are connected to the drive wheels via a continuously variable transmission. The rotation torque of a motor is applied to the drive wheels when the braking pressure is reduced due to antilock control so that the engine braking force which acts during braking does not interfere with antilock control.
