The present invention relates to a hybrid vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine; a transmission; at least one driving wheel rotationally connected to the transmission; a coupling arrangement arranged between the internal combustion engine and the transmission, and controllable between a first state in which the drive shaft of the internal combustion engine is rotationally connected to the transmission and a second state in which the drive shaft of the internal combustion engine is rotationally disconnected from the transmission. The hybrid vehicle further comprises an energy recovery device connected to the coupling arrangement via a flexible driving member for allowing recovery and storage of energy recovered from deceleration of the at least one driving wheel; a sensor for sensing a parameter value indicative of desired deceleration; and a control unit for controlling the coupling arrangement to the second state when the sensed parameter value indicates desired deceleration of the hybrid vehicle.
