Power unit of utility vehicle

A power unit of a utility vehicle, comprising:

• a power source for travel of the utility vehicle, the power source comprising a drive shaft that outputs rotational power;
• a continuously variable transmission comprising a CVT input shaft that receives the rotational power input from the drive shaft of the power source, a CVT output shaft that outputs the rotational power, a drive pulley mounted on the CVT input shaft, a driven pulley mounted on the CVT output shaft, and a belt wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley;
• a gear transmission that receives rotational power input from the continuously variable transmission;
• and
• an output mechanism that receives rotational power output by the gear transmission and that outputs the rotational power to a drive wheel, wherein
• the gear transmission comprises:
• a GT input shaft that receives the rotational power input from the CVT output shaft;
• a GT output shaft that outputs the rotational power to the output mechanism;
• a first GT intermediate shaft that transmits the rotational power from the GT input shaft to the GT output shaft;
• a second GT intermediate shaft that transmits the rotational power from the GT input shaft to the GT output shaft;
• a first speed-change gear pair mounted on the GT input shaft and the first GT intermediate shaft;
• a second speed-change gear pair mounted on the GT input shaft and the second GT intermediate shaft;
• a first transmission gear mounted on the first GT intermediate shaft to provide power transmission to the GT output shaft;
• and
• a second transmission gear mounted on the second GT intermediate shaft to provide power transmission to the GT output shaft,
• the drive shaft, the CVT input shaft, the CVT output shaft, the GT input shaft, the first GT intermediate shaft, the second GT intermediate shaft, and the GT output shaft extend in a first direction,
• the gear transmission is aligned with the continuously variable transmission in the first direction and aligned with the power source in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,
• the first GT intermediate shaft is disposed on one side with respect to the GT input shaft in the second direction, and
• the second GT intermediate shaft is disposed on the other side with respect to the GT input shaft in the second direction.
