Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a vehicle drive system. There is a need for a brake responsive vehicle drive system. A vehicle drive system includes an internal combustion engine (12), an electric motor/generator (14) driven by the engine (12), and drive wheels (26,30) driven by traction motor/generators (24,28). The motor/generators (24,28) are controlled by a controller (40) which receives signals from an operator speed control member (36), wheel speed sensors (46,48), and a pair of brake pedal position sensors (58,60), each connected to a corresponding left or right brake pedal (57,59). In response to operation of the brake pedals (57,59), the controller (40) coordinates operation of the electric drive system with operation of the brake pedals (57,59).
