A collision avoidance system for a vehicle, which includes at least one sensor mounted to the vehicle, the sensor being operable for detecting the approach of a second vehicle towards the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle also includes a braking system which is operable for allowing or preventing the rotation of one or more wheels of the vehicle, and a propulsion component, such as an internal combustion engine. The braking system releases the wheels, and the engine moves the vehicle when the sensor detects the approach of the second vehicle towards the rear of the vehicle. The rear collision avoidance system using torque override may be applicable with a vehicle having other sources of propulsion, such as an electric motor used as part of a hybrid electric vehicle or battery electric vehicle.
