Abstract
A drive unit includes a motor, a torque converter, a torque transmission member, first and second transmission paths, first and second gear trains, and a controller. The torque converter amplifies torque directed in a first direction. The first transmission path transmits torque through the torque converter. The second transmission path transmits torque without through the torque converter. The first gear train outputs torque directed in the first direction as forward torque. The second gear train outputs torque directed in the first direction as reverse torque. The controller executes a first forward moving mode such that the motor is rotated in the first direction, and torque is outputted through the first transmission path and the first gear train. The controller executes a second forward moving mode such that the motor is rotated in a second direction, and torque is outputted through the second transmission path and the second gear train.
