B60L 15/00 Methods, circuits, or devices for controlling the traction-motor speed of electrically-propelled vehicles
Introduced: September 1968
Title
Titles differ between systems:
IPC: Methods, circuits or devices for controlling the propulsion of electrically-propelled vehicles, e.g. their traction-motor speed, to achieve a desired performance; Adaptation of control equipment on electrically-propelled vehicles for remote actuation from a stationary place, from alternative parts of the vehicle or from alternative vehicles of the same vehicle train
CPC: Methods, circuits, or devices for controlling the traction-motor speed of electrically-propelled vehicles
