Abstract
A transfer is located on an axial first side that is one side in axial direction relative to a transmission, and a rotating electric machine is located coaxially with a transmission output member, between the transmission and the transfer in the axial direction.
Claims8
A vehicle drive system provided with:
- an input member drivingly coupled to an internal combustion engine;
- a transmission that changes a speed of rotation transmitted from the input member and that then transmits the rotation to a transmission output member;
- a rotating electric machine drivingly coupled to the transmission output member;
- a first output member drivingly coupled to a rear wheel;
- a second output member drivingly coupled to a front wheel;
- a transfer that distributes the rotation transmitted from the transmission output member between the first output member and the second output member;
- and
- a case that houses the transmission, the rotating electric machine, and the transfer, wherein
- the transfer is located on an axial first side relative to the transmission, the axial first side being one side in an axial direction,
- the rotating electric machine is located coaxially with the transmission output member, between the transmission and the transfer in the axial direction,
- the case is provided with a transmission accommodation chamber that houses the transmission, a rotating-electric-machine accommodation chamber that houses the rotating electric machine, and a transfer accommodation chamber that houses the transfer,
- the transmission accommodation chamber and the rotating-electric-machine accommodation chamber are located adjacent to each other in the axial direction,
- the case is provided with a side wall portion that is located on the axial first side relative to the rotating electrical machine, and
- the side wall portion separates the rotating-electric-machine accommodation chamber and the transfer accommodation chamber from each other in the axial direction.
