More regenerative braking increases the amount of electrical charge generated for the battery. Some hybrid systems apply hydraulic brakes at lower speeds. Under emergency conditions and ABS corrections, most EVs and hybrids will use hydraulic brakes exclusively. But, Toyota uses pressure transducers on each hydraulic circuit.

When a vehicle performs an ADAS, ABS or stability control systems correction, the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) generates pressure to apply the brakes at a corner of the vehicle. First, the valve block can have an accumulator that stores hydraulic pressure against a spring. The pressure can come from two sources.
