Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 15:
16. The vehicle of claim 11, wherein:
the data associated with the current operational state of the EHC comprises a temperature of the EHC and a level of emissions detected downstream of the EHC;
the comparison between the data associated with the current operational state of the EHC and its corresponding threshold value data comprises a first comparison between the temperature of the EHC and a threshold EHC temperature and a second comparison between the level of emissions detected downstream of the EHC and a threshold emissions level; and
acceleration of the vehicle is only restricted by artificially impeding travel range of the accelerator pedal when the temperature of the EHC is less than the threshold EHC temperature and the level of emissions detected downstream of the EHC exceeds the threshold emissions level.
