In the motor cooling structure, the motor 30 is cooled by passing air over a casing 31 of the motor 30. Around the casing 31, a pair of upper and lower guide plates 34 and 34 are provided that extend posterior to the rotating shaft 32 toward the rear of a vehicle body and that guide the passing air along an outer circumferential surface of the casing 31. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
