A motor vehicle (50) having at least one steering axle (64), at least one drive axle (74, 76) and at least one lifting axle (78), the lifting axle having at least one
actuator (104, 106) for raising and lowering the same, wherein the wheels (82, 84) of at least one drive axle can be driven electrically at least in a supporting manner by means of at least one
electric machine which can be operated as an
electric motor and as a generator and can be driven as a generator in regenerative operation, and wherein the
electric machine is connected to a battery (92) and to a control and / or regulating device (94), the control and / or regulating device being designed to control and / or regulate the operation of the
electric machine and to control and / or regulate the operation of the lifting axle. The invention provides that a control and / or regulating device (94) is connected to a sensor (120) for detecting wheel slip of wheels (82, 84) of at least one drive axle (74, 76), and that the control and / or regulating device (94) is designed such that, if wheel slip occurs on at least one wheel of at least one drive axle, the control and / or regulating device can send a control command to at least one
actuator (104, 106) of a lifting axle (78) during an activated regeneration operation in order to raise the lifting axle and thereby relieve the wheels (86) thereof. The invention also relates to a method for operating such a motor vehicle.
