A master cylinder and brake valve assembly for operating the clutch and clutch brake of a heavy road vehicle is arranged such that up to a first given displacement of the master cylinder piston the clutch release mechanism only is connected to the master cylinder and, above a second further given displacement of the piston, the brake actuator only is connected to the master cylinder, there being a step change in thrust applied to the piston between the given displacements. In a modification, above a third further given displacement of the piston, the brake actuator is reisolated from the master cylinder.
