The invention relates to a method for setting a driving speed of a motor vehicle on a route. A control device of the motor vehicle sets the driving speed depending on an operating position limited by two extreme positions of a pedal device of the motor vehicle, which may be operated by a driver, wherein the control device detects the operating position of the pedal device, and depending on the detected operating position, determines in at least one specified driving mode a target driving speed corresponding to the respective operating position, and the control device sets the driving speed corresponding to the respective target driving speed by means of a closed loop control as long as the respective operating position is detected. The setting in this case takes place independently of a current condition of the route. The invention also includes a motor vehicle.

A vehicle-electrical-system assembly and a method for operating a vehicle electrical system of an electrically drivable transportation unit. The method includes determining a present electrical power consumption of a component having dynamic power-consumption behavior at a first time, providing a base value by smoothing the power-consumption behavior over time, defining a power reserve for the component by adding a static power offset to the base value, and limiting a vehicle-electrical-system power available for a traction machine of the transportation unit to provide the defined power reserve for the component.
