An energy-optimized acceleration control is provided for a motor vehicle having an internal-combustion engine and/or an electric drive motor, a transmission unit and an accelerator element to be operated by the driver for accelerating the motor vehicle. In the course of the restoring force, when the accelerator element is operated, an inflection point with an increased restoring force is provided. The acceleration control is set up for operating the motor vehicle in two different operating modes, wherein during operation of the accelerator element leading to a reaching of the inflection point, the acceleration control changes into an energy-optimized acceleration mode.

Energy-optimized acceleration control for motor vehicles

A holder apparatus is provided for a portable electronic device, in particular in a motor vehicle. The portable electronic device is designed for bidirectional data transfer with the motor vehicle, wherein the holder apparatus has a base element which can be fixed in the motor vehicle and which has a plurality of holder elements, and at least one wall and/or cover element which is coupled to the holder elements such that it can be reversibly plug-connected. The portable electronic device can be secured in the holder apparatus in an interlocking and/or force-fitting manner by the base element and the at least one wall and/or cover element.
