Abstract

A working vehicle includes an electric storage device; a traction motor configured to propel the working vehicle and to generate electrical energy when braking; a hydraulic system including a hydraulic pump driven by a load motor, a hydraulic actuator and a control valve; and a control system. The control system is configured to determine a state of charge of the electric storage device; induce additional load on the hydraulic system by directing the load motor to drive the hydraulic pump and actuating the control valve to direct flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator when the state of charge is at or above a predetermined threshold.
