A method 100 of increasing engine braking of an engine for a vehicle is provided. The method 100 comprises: determining the change in kinetic energy ∆KE of the vehicle over a period T; determining the energy output from a drivetrain of the vehicle over the period T; and comparing the change in kinetic energy ∆KE to the energy output. When the change in kinetic energy is greater than the energy output over the period the method also incorporates increasing the engine braking of the vehicle.
