Transaxle device

Abstract

A transaxle device (1) for a hybrid vehicle including an engine (2), a first rotating electric machine (3), and a second rotating electric machine (4) individually transmits power of the engine (2) and power of the first rotating electric machine (3) to an output shaft (12) on a drive wheel side and also transmits the power of the engine (2) to the second rotating electric machine (4). Further, the transaxle device (1) includes a differential gear (18) which is interposed in the output shaft (12) and a switching mechanism (20) which is interposed on a power transmission path from the engine (2) to the output shaft (12) and switches a high gear stage (11H, 15H) and a low gear stage (11L, 15L). The high gear stage (11H, 15H) is disposed on the opposite side to the differential gear (18) with respect to the low gear stage (11L, 15L) inside a casing (1C) of the transaxle device (1).
