Hybrid vehicle

摘要

A hybrid vehicle is provided in which a hybrid type power unit is mounted to a vehicle body frame, the power unit having an engine with an engine body of which part is formed by a crankcase rotatably supporting a crankshaft, a transmission for changing speed of driving force transmitted from the crankshaft, and an electric motor capable of transmitting the driving force to the transmission, wherein the electric motor (9) is mounted to a lower portion at a front face of the engine body (11A). Thus, it is possible to prevent the position of the center of gravity from becoming higher according to the disposition of the electric motor, and to carry out sufficient cooling of the electric motor by utilizing traveling wind.
