Drive device of rigid-axle electrified vehicle

Abstract

A drive device of a rigid-axle electrified vehicle includes an electromotive drive unit, a final speed reducer, an axle housing, and a transmission shaft. The electromotive drive unit is provided in a vehicle body. The final speed reducer divides dynamic power from the electromotive drive unit to right and left drive wheels. The axle housing couples the right and left drive wheels and houses the final speed reducer. The transmission shaft transmits dynamic power from the electromotive drive unit to the final speed reducer. The axle housing supports the vehicle body through a suspension spring. The transmission shaft is disposed in a vehicle-width direction. A first end of the transmission shaft in the vehicle-width direction is coupled to the electromotive drive unit through a first joint. A second end of the transmission shaft in the vehicle-width direction is coupled to the final speed reducer through a second joint.
