Road vehicle

The present invention relates to a road vehicle (1) with a drive unit (2) for driving the vehicle (1), with a drive unit control device (3) for controlling the drive unit (2), and with at least one sound generator (4) which comprises at least one electroacoustic transducer (10), wherein the sound generator (4) has an outlet pipe (16) which connects the sound generator (4) acoustically and fluidically directly to a radiation space (17) into which the sound generated by the transducer (10) during operation of the sound generator (4) radiates. [0002] Increased operational safety is achieved when a generator control device (26) for controlling the transducer (10) is coupled to the drive unit control device (3) and controls the transducer (4) depending on the current operating state of the drive unit (2).
