A brake system, method for controlling the brake system and a mine vehicle provided with the same. The brake system (13) of the mine vehicle (2) comprises spring activated and hydraulically released brake assemblies (14) in connection with wheels (7) of the vehicle. The brake assemblies comprise hydraulic release actuators (RA) which are pressurized for releasing the brakes (15). During normal operation the release actuators are pressurized by means of a main brake circuit (16) and are controlled by a brake controller (BC). A separate release circuit (17) and pressure source (Ps2) may be activated for releasing the brakes when vehicle is disabled. The system further comprises an override device (21) for selectively depressurizing the release actuators during towing.
