Drive assembly comprising a drive, a pump and a control valve, and system comprising such a drive assembly

A drive assembly, comprising:

• a drive, controllable to exhibit a selected one of a plurality of drive modes that comprise driving said drive in one of a first driving direction and a second driving direction, the second driving direction being directed opposite relative to the first driving direction;
• a pump that is drivable by the drive and configured to produce a hydraulic flow, the pump being configured to produce the hydraulic flow to flow in a flow direction that is independent of the first driving direction or the second driving direction of the selected drive mode;
• and
• a control valve that is configured to be set in a valve position associated with the selected drive mode and configured to thereby direct the hydraulic flow produced by the pump depending on the selected drive mode of the drive along a selected one or more of a plurality of flow paths that are arranged downstream of the pump.
