1. The method for controlling ground speed and auxiliary implements operating speeds of industrial vehicles, comprising:

  • (1) providing on a vehicle an (ECM) which is programmed to receive signals of various real time operational speeds of a vehicle and correlate them with limiting operational speeds of said vehicle which are pre-programmed into said (ECM), wherein said vehicle is powered by an internal combustion engine which is provided with carburetion means having a throttle plate, and an electronic governor which can, upon receiving an electronic signal from said (ECM), regulate the position of said throttle plate and thus the air flow to the engine whereby to control engine rpm, (2) sensing the desired operational speeds sought by the vehicle operator thru the positions of an accelerator means operated by the operator, and transmitting electronic signals representative of said position to said (ECM), (3) sensing the real time operational speeds and transmitting electronic signals representative thereof to said (ECM), and (4) directing said (ECM) to correlate said signals of real time operational speeds with said desired operational speeds and said limiting operational speeds and generate and transmit electronic signals to said governor to regulate air flows to said engine to attain certain engine rpm'"'"'s and thus real time operational speeds in accord with said desired operational speeds.
