Abstract
A control system for a hydraulically driven vehicle having a variable displacement hydraulic motor connected with a variable displacement hydraulic pump in a closed loop and driven thereby. A spring-applied and fluid-released brake is mounted on an output shaft of the motor. A regulator is operatively connected to the motor for controlling the displacement thereof in response to a fluid pressure at both ports thereof. When fluid pressure at either one of the ports of the motor exceeds a predetermined level, the variable displacement motor is changed over to a high displacement position thereby generating a large braking force when the vehicle is to be stopped.
