The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle power drive, and relates to a regenerative braking stepless transmission for vehicles. A hydraulic accumulator, an electromagnetic switch valve, a variable pump-motor and a variable motor-pump are used for performing power transfer and conversion, confluence and shunting, so that the stepless transmission with the regenerative braking function is formed. The driving force generated from regenerative braking can start engines and drive the vehicles. The stepless transmission enables the engines or electric motors to be mainly operated in areas with the optimal economic working condition, the installed power of the engines is reduced, the volume of a power transmission system is reduced, the efficiency of the power transmission system is improved, and at the same time, the regenerative braking function is achieved. The structure of the regenerative braking stepless transmission is compact, the cost of the transmission system is reduced, the supported technology is mature, and the regenerative braking stepless transmission is suitable for buses, passenger vehicles, trucks, engineering machinery and the like, and has wide application fields and market prospects.
