<p>A four-wheel drive hybrid electric automobile in which the left and right front wheels are driven by a liquid fuel engine and the left and right rear wheels are driven by switched reluctance motors. The liquid fuel engine (2) for driving the first and second front wheels (21, 22) is placed at the front of a vehicle body (1), and the first and second switched reluctance motors (8, 9) for driving the first and second rear wheels (23, 24) are placed at the rear of the vehicle body (1). Since the first and second switched reluctance motors (8, 9) are mounted not in the wheel hubs of the first and second rear wheels (23, 24) but at the vehicle body (1) rear where sufficient mounting space is available, the degree of layout freedom of the switched reluctance motors (8, 9) on the vehicle is increased.</p> |
