Vehicle electric motor hydraulic pump decoupling

A vehicle comprising:

• rear ground traction members;
• front ground traction members;
• an electric motor;
• a reversible transmission operably coupling the electric motor to the rear ground traction members to drive the rear ground traction members;
• a hydraulic motor operably coupled to the front ground traction members;
• a hydraulic pump operably coupled to the electric motor for being powered by the electric motor and operably coupled to the hydraulic motor to drive the hydraulic motor;
• a one-way clutch/bearing operably coupled between the electric motor and the hydraulic pump;
• and
• a controller to operate in a first mode by transmitting control signals to the reversible transmission to cause the transmission to operate in a forward state and to the electric motor to cause electric motor to operate in a forward state in which the front ground traction members are driven forwardly, and in a second mode by transmitting control signals to the transmission to cause the transmission to operate in a reversed state and to the electric motor to cause the electric motor to operate in a reversed state in which the rear ground traction members are driven forwardly and in which the electric motor is operably decoupled from the hydraulic pump by the one-way clutch/bearing.
