HYBRID VEHICLE DRIVE SYSTEM

摘要

A drive system (10A) is provided with: a power splitting mechanism (20), wherein a ring gear (R) is connected to an internal combustion engine (11), a sun gear (S) is connected to a first motor-generator (MG) (12), and a carrier (C) is connected to a counter shaft (15) so as to be able to transmit power; and a clutch mechanism (24) capable of coupling the sun gear (S) and the ring gear (R). The internal combustion engine (11), the first MG (12), the power splitting mechanism (20), and the clutch mechanism (24) are positioned on the same axis (Ax1). The clutch mechanism (24) is positioned on the opposite side of the internal combustion engine (11) with the first MG (12) and the power splitting mechanism (20) therebetween.
