The invention provides a regenerative braking torque distribution method based on SOC for a hybrid electric vehicle, belongs to the field of electric vehicle braking force control and distribution, and aims to overcome the influence of the SOC on regenerative braking force distribution. SOCr is the upper limit value of battery capacity, when SOC(k) is no less than SOCr, only hydraulic brake works;only when the SOC(k) is less than the SOCr, regenerative braking is put into work, and the effect is to improve the regeneration efficiency and prolong the service life of the battery.
