Abstract
A method for braking a vehicle driving forward, in which the vehicle has a propulsion system including a combustion engine with an output shaft (), a gearbox () with an input shaft (), an electric machine () comprising a stator and a rotor, and a planetary gear comprising three components in the form of a sun gear (), a ring gear () and a planet wheel carrier (). The vehicle is driven with one of the components connected to an output shaft of the combustion engine rotating with a lower rotational speed than one of the components connected to the electric machine. When the vehicle is braked, the electric machine is controlled to apply a brake torque to the input shaft of the gearbox, making the rotational speed of the combustion engine increase.
