Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle, a tour coach or a city bus. The electrically drivable vehicle (1) comprises an electric machine (2) that can be operated as a generator, an accumulator for electrical energy (3), an electrically conductive vehicle part, and a control device (5). The accumulator for electrical energy (3) is designed to receive electrical energy (4) from the electric machine (2) and/or to deliver electrical energy (4) to the electric machine (2). The control device (5) is designed, when at least one predetermined energy-dissipation condition is met, to divert electrical energy (4) generated when the electric machine (2) is being operated as a generator to the electrically conductive vehicle part for conversion into thermal energy, wherein the electrically conductive vehicle part is a vehicle frame (6) and/or a vehicle body (7) and/or a bodywork (8).
