Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling a speed of a vehicle in a downhill road section followed by an uphill road section. The vehicle comprising an electrical machine system for applying braking to the vehicle to maintain a first vehicle speed in the downhill road section and to apply a propelling power in the uphill road section. The method comprising determining whether a temperature of the electrical machine system will exceed a temperature limit in the uphill road section, if maintaining the first vehicle speed in the downhill road section, and if so, reducing the first vehicle speed to a second vehicle speed in the downhill road section such that, in comparison to when the first vehicle speed would have been maintained, the temperature of the electrical machine system is decreased when the vehicle reaches the uphill road section and a travelling time in the downhill road section is increased.

Abstract: A system to carry out a systematic selection of a specification for a first vehicle. The specification includes several parameters related to at least one characteristic for the first vehicle. The system includes a collection device for collection of operational data from at least one other vehicle. The operational data comprises information about how the at least one other vehicle has been used. A simulation device simulates how an adjustment of at least one of the several parameters impacts the at least one characteristic for the first vehicle. The simulation being based on the operational data. Also, selection device selects at least one specification based on the simulation.
