Abstract
One energy recovery system () that can decelerate the vehicle in response to a brake request stores recovered energy electrically in a battery bank (). Another energy recovery system () stores recovered energy hydraulically in a high pressure accumulator (). One system is given priority over the other when a brake request is issued. When the stored energies are reused to accelerate the vehicle, one form of stored energy is used before the other.
