Conformal invariance and a new type of conserved quantity in nonholonomic mechanical system are studied. The definition and determining equation of conformal invariance for the nonholonomic mechanical system are provided; and the necessary and sufficient conditions that the conformal invariance for a nonholonomic mechanical system should be of Lie symmetry are deduced. With the aid of a new structure equation that the gauge function satisfies, the system's corresponding new conserved quantity is obtained. Finally an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.
