"textContent": "The invention relates to a non-rail-bound vehicle driven electrically or hybrid-electrically. It comprises a pantograph for supplying electrical traction energy from an overhead contact line system. The pantograph has a contact strip arrangement that can be raised and lowered and can be brought into sliding contact with a contact wire of the overhead contact line system running over a traffic lane. To maintain the sliding contact during steering movements, the contact strip arrangement can be pivoted transversely to a direction of travel. According to the invention, the vehicle comprises limiting means for at least unilateral lateral limitation of the pivot range of the contact strip arrangement essentially to vehicle width and a driver assistance system for supporting a driver in maintaining a virtual travel lane that lies within the marked traffic lane and has a narrower lane width than the traffic lane. The lane width and the pivot range are dimensioned such that when the travel lane is maintained, sliding contact of the contact strip arrangement with the contact wire can be maintained. In this way, operational safety with respect to the risk of collision of the pantograph with parts of other vehicles or the overhead contact line system is increased.",
