Abstract
Method and apparatus for distributing brake torque between at least one first and one second brake device on a motor vehicle including at least two wheel pairs. The first brake device is a friction brake which acts on at least one wheel pair and the second brake device acts on at least the driven wheel pair via the transmission and is disposed before the clutch device of the transmission. Brake torque is distributed between the first and the second brake device in a manner that compensates for the loss of brake torque which occurs when the second brake device is disengaged by the clutch device of the transmission.
