A gate departure system for an aircraft includes an electric traction motor for driving a wheel of a main landing gear assembly of the aircraft on only one side of the aircraft; and a controller selectively connected to a starter-generator of an auxiliary power unit (APU) and to the traction motor to control flow of electrical power to either the starter-generator for starting of the APU or the electric traction motor for driving the wheel.
