Provided is the structure of a vehicle drive device provided with a fluid transmission device, an electric motor and a transmission, said vehicle drive device being capable of improving the cooling performance of the electric motor. Even in a configuration in which an engine (12) and a first electric motor (MG1) are linked to a pump impeller (16p) of a torque converter (16), the engine (12) and the first electric motor (MG1) are positioned in a location where the torque converter (16) is sandwiched in the axial direction, thus enabling the first electric motor (MG1) to be positioned in a space (89) (inside an oil chamber) in which an automatic transmission (18) is housed. Moreover, housing the first electric motor (MG1) inside said space (89) allows the first electric motor (MG1) to be cooled by oil, thus enabling the cooling performance of the first electric motor (MG1) to be improved. |
