Vehicle drive device

A vehicle drive device comprising:

• left and right motors that include respective rotating shafts extending in a left-right direction of a vehicle, are spaced apart in the left-right direction from each other, and drive left and right wheels of the vehicle;
• a gearbox that incorporates therein a gear mechanism amplifying torque of the left and right motors and transmitting the amplified torque to the left and right wheels, that is sandwiched between the left and right motors, and that forms, in conjunction with respective motor housings of the left and right motors, a depressed portion depressed downward;
• and
• an inverter that is arranged in a mounting space over the left and right motors and the gearbox and that comprises a capacitor smoothing electricity and a semiconductor module including a plurality of switching elements, wherein
• the inverter includes a tray unit that accommodates the capacitor and the semiconductor module, and a cover that is in a flat-plate shape, is attached to the tray unit, and covers the capacitor and the semiconductor module from above the capacitor and the semiconductor module,
• the capacitor is attached to a lower surface of the cover and is arranged in the depressed portion, and
• the semiconductor module is attached to the lower surface of the cover and is displaced from each of the capacitor and the rotating shafts when seen from above.
