Vehicle drive device

A vehicle drive device for a vehicle configured with a combustion engine as a driving source, the vehicle drive device comprising:

• a hydraulic transmission device that includes a transmission input member, the hydraulic transmission device configured to change a speed of rotation of the transmission input member and transmits the rotation to a transmission output member;
• a differential gear device that has an axis different from an axis of the transmission input member and configured to distribute a drive force transmitted from the transmission output member to left and right shafts such that the left and right shafts can rotate at different speeds from each other;
• a sealed case that houses at least the transmission device and the differential gear device;
• an electric oil pump that is driven by a pump rotary electric machine;
• and
• a hydraulic control device that controls a hydraulic pressure of oil discharged from the electric oil pump and supplies the oil at least to the transmission device, wherein
• the electric oil pump and the pump rotary electric machine are housed in the case,
• the transmission device, the differential gear device, and the pump rotary electric machine are disposed such that a transmission axial center that is a rotation axial center of the transmission input member, a differential axial center that is a rotation axial center of the differential gear device, and a pump axial center that is a rotation axial center of the pump rotary electric machine are parallel to one another,
• the differential gear device is disposed such that the differential axial center is located below the transmission axial center and the differential axial center is not located on a vertical plane passing through the transmission axial center when viewed in an axial direction parallel to the axial centers in a vehicle mounted state,
• the hydraulic control device is disposed such that the vertical plane is between the hydraulic control device and the differential axial center when viewed in the axial direction,
• the pump rotary electric machine is disposed such that the pump axial center is located below the transmission axial center and between the transmission axial center and the hydraulic control device when viewed in the axial direction, and
• the pump rotary electric machine is disposed so as not to overlap any of the transmission device and the hydraulic control device when viewed in the axial direction.
