When a vehicle is braking, the transfer of energy taking place is from kinetic energy to heat energy. As the brakes are applied, the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into heat energy due to the friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors. This heat energy is then dissipated into the surrounding environment.
