Hybrid vehicle driving apparatus

A hybrid vehicle driving apparatus comprising:

• a first planetary gear mechanism;
• a second planetary gear mechanism;
• a clutch configured to connect and disconnects a carrier of the first planetary gear mechanism to and from a carrier of the second planetary gear mechanism;
• and
• a brake configured to regulate the rotation of the carrier of the second planetary gear mechanism by engaging,
• a sun gear, the carrier, and a ring gear of the first planetary gear mechanism being respectively connected to a first rotating electric machine, an engine, and a driving wheel, and
• a sun gear and a ring gear of the second planetary gear mechanism being respectively connected to a second rotating electric machine and the driving wheel wherein
• an alignment order of rotating elements of the first planetary gear mechanism and the second planetary gear mechanism in the collinear chart when the clutch is engaged and the brake is disengaged is in the order of the sun gear of the first planetary gear mechanism, the sun gear of the second planetary gear mechanism, the carrier of the first planetary gear mechanism and the carrier of the second planetary gear mechanism, and the ring gear of the first planetary gear mechanism and the ring gear of the second planetary gear mechanism.
