WORKING VEHICLE

A working vehicle 10 is provided comprising: an electric storage device 50; a traction motor 52 configured to propel the working vehicle 10 and to generate electrical energy when braking; a hydraulic system 100 comprising a hydraulic pump 110 driven by a load motor 112, a hydraulic actuator 24, 34, 36 and a control valve 118; and a control system 200. The control system 200 is configured to: determine a state of charge of the electric storage device 50; induce additional load on the hydraulic system by directing the load motor 52 to drive the hydraulic pump 110 and actuating the control valve 118 to direct flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator 24, 34, 36 when the state of charge is at or above a predetermined threshold.
