Comment: "Thanks. I ended up using this term simply because I found the site of the company's US affiliate and this is what they used as well.
There were in fact lots of hits for rev-limiter, but mainly for race cars. Thanks again to everyone for helping me finish a nightmarish job."

The other answers are technically correct but as a car enthusiast the term I am conversant with is rev. limiter!

: Not quite. (Controlling engine rpms isn't necessarily the same as controlling speed!)...
