Abstract
In response to depression of a brake pedal (6), an electric brake (5) mounted on the rear side starts to generate a braking force at the time of stroke h1 before a fluid pressure brake (4) mounted on the front side starts to generate a braking force when the stroke reaches stroke h2. Accordingly, the rear side is able to generate a braking force prior to the front side, whereby it is possible to reduce a rigid feeling, and therefore improve the pedal feeling.
