Antilock electro-hydraulic hybrid brake system and method
First Claim
1. A brake system for a motor vehicle, the brake system comprising:
- at least one wheel assembly comprising a non-antilock brake apparatus including a first actuator; and
at least one wheel assembly comprising an antilock brake apparatus including a second actuator;
wherein a received brake signal activates at least one of the first and second actuators to provide a braking force for the vehicle.

Abstract
For a motor vehicle, a brake system, an antilock electro-hydraulic hybrid brake system, and a method of braking. The brake system includes at least one first wheel assembly including a non-antilock brake apparatus with a first actuator, and at least one wheel assembly including an antilock brake apparatus with a second actuator. A received brake signal activates at least one of the first and second actuators to provide a braking force for the vehicle. A front wheel set may include the first wheel assembly with the first actuator being hydraulic. A rear wheel set may include the second wheel assembly with the second actuator being electric. The method includes receiving a brake signal, applying a non-antilock brake force to at least one wheel assembly based on the received brake signal, and applying an antilock brake force to at least one wheel assembly based on the received brake signal.
