An electric energy store for operating the first and the second electric motors is associated with the travel drive and the work drive. The method includes operating the first electric motor in generator mode to produce braking power of the travel drive, electric power being produced in the generator mode. The method further includes supplying, completely or partly to the energy store and/or to the second electric motor depending on a state of the energy store, the electric power.
