A modular accelerator and brake (A&B) assembly (18) for controlling the movement of a utility vehicle (10) is provided. The modular A&B assembly controls operation of a vehicle prime mover (14) and braking assembly (16). The modular A&B assembly includes a mounting plate (30) coupled to a frame structure (34) of the vehicle. An accelerator pedal subassembly (38) includes an accelerator pedal shaft (42) that is rotationally mounted within a pair of opposing apertures (46) in a pair of accelerator mounts (50) extending from an underside of the mounting plate. A brake pedal subassembly (66) includes a brake pedal shaft (70) that rotationally mounted within a pair of opposing apertures (72) in a pair of brake mounts (74) extending from the underside of the mounting plate. The accelerator pedal shaft and the brake pedal shaft are mounted to the mounting plate (30) such that an axis of the accelerator pedal shaft (x) is offset from an axis of the brake pedal shaft (y).
