Abstract
A motor vehicle including an electric drive engine capable of being successively supplied with electric power by two separate electric power sources, in particular by a set of batteries and by a fuel cell, and of the type including an accelerator pedal that is mobile between a rest position and an extreme actuated position corresponding to the maximum power capable of being supplied by the engine based on the amount of electric power available for its powering. A mechanism is provided for varying the extreme actuated position of the pedal on the basis of a parameter representing the amount of electric power available for powering the engine.

1-10. (canceled)
A motor vehicle comprising:
- an electric propulsion motor capable of being supplied with electrical energy:
- by a first electrical-energy source including a fuel-cell stack that is supplied with fuel by a reformer when a temperature of the reformer is higher than or equal to a threshold temperature;
- or
- by a second electrical-energy source including an auxiliary battery, as long as the temperature of the reformer is below the threshold temperature;
- an accelerator pedal configured to be moved between a rest position and an actuated extreme position corresponding to a maximum mechanical power that can be delivered by the motor as a function of electric power available for supplying the motor;
- and
- means for varying the actuated extreme position of the pedal as a function of a parameter representative of electrical power available to supply the motor.
