Abstract
In a hybrid vehicle, when an ECO switchis 'on' when a brake demand operation is performed by a driver, a target regeneration distribution rate d is set using an ECO mode regeneration distribution rate setting map that gives priority to energy efficiency in comparison to a normal regeneration distribution rate setting map that is used when the ECO switchis 'off' and a braking force demand BF* that is based on the brake demand operation of the driver (S), and a motor MGand a brake unitare controlled so that the braking force demand BF* is obtained based on the target regeneration distribution rate d (Sto S).
