A fluidic control system 100 for a vehicle 10 is provided. The fluidic control system includes a controller 2 and a fluidic circuit. The fluidic circuit comprises: a pump 3 for pressurising fluid in the circuit; and an actuator 104, 106 fluidly connected to valve means 140, 160. The actuator 104, 106 is mechanically connected to, or integral with, a master cylinder 141, 161 of a further (e.g. braking or clutch actuating) fluidic circuit of a vehicle 10. The valve means 140, 160 is operatively connected to the controller 2. The controller 2 is configured to operate the valve means 140, 160 to control the supply of pressurised fluid to the actuator 104, 106 in order to apply a mechanical force to the master cylinder 141, 161 for operating the further fluidic circuit of the vehicle (10).
