ABSTRACT:
A regenerative braking system for a car in which a driving torque required for the car is determined according to the sensed positions of an accelerator pedal and the gear. The motoring capacity of a pump/motor is determined based on the determined driving torque and the sensed pressure of a hydraulic oil circuit including the pump/motor, while the engine of the car is decoupled or coupled as necessary. An electromagnetic clutch is coupled to a power take-off unit and the pump/motor, and the hydraulic oil circuit is closed with the pump/motor being controlled to have the determined motoring capacity in the accelerating mode of the car.
