Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle electric drive system includes an internal combustion engine, an electric motor/generator driven by the engine, a first inverter/rectifier coupled to motor/generator, a buss coupled to the first inverter/rectifier, a second inverter/rectifier coupled to the buss, and a traction motor/generator coupled to an output of the second inverter/rectifier, an operator speed control member, and a controller coupled to the second inverter/rectifier for controlling a current output of the second inverter/rectifier as a function of a positio n of the speed control member. Also included is an operator controlled foot pedal and a transducer coupled to the foot pedal and generating a signal representing foot pedal position which is supplied to the controller. The controller limits current supplied by the second inverter/rectifier to the traction motor/generator to a limit current as a function of the transducer signal. The controller, foot pedal and transducer cooperate to vary the limit current in response to movement of the foot pedal. A spring biases the foot pedal to an upper limit position. The controller causes the second inverter/rectifier to supply to the traction motor/generator a maximum amount of current, (such maximum current being a function of the foo t pedal position), but not more thanthat required to achieve the speed commanded by the speed control.
