Brake control device and control method

The present invention provides a brake control device and a control method. The hybrid vehicle is provided with: a brake device that applies friction braking torque to a wheel in accordance with the movement of a brake pedal input-member; an electric motor that applies a regenerative braking torque to the wheel; and a control unit. The control unit finds, at the time of braking, a regenerative braking torque limit-value that can be generated depending on the operation conditions of the electric motor or a power storage device, and reduces the ratio of the regenerative braking torque to the friction braking torque during the period until the regenerative braking torque reaches the limit value.
