The gear noise reduction measures is simplified as well as the optional setting alteration of the total gear ratio on the engine side is enabled without altering the mutual positions between axes. A hybrid drive apparatus is formed from an engine (E/G), a generator (G), a differential gear mechanism (P) linking the above two, an electric motor (M), and a differential apparatus (D). The power transmission system on the side of the engine that links the differential apparatus (D) with the output element of the differential gear mechanism (P) and the power transmission system on the side of the electric motor that links the differential apparatus (D) with the electric motor (M) are each formed from separate power transmission elements and are each linked to the differential apparatus (D) at the most downstream point of the power transmission system of each. As a result, it is possible to arbitrarily alter the setting of the total gear ratio on the engine side simply by altering the meshing diameter of the power transmission elements without altering the mutual positions between the axes of the engine (E/G), electric motor (M), and differential apparatus (D). Moreover, the implementing of measures against noise is simplified because the upstream side of the power transmission system that has a high probability of being the one generating problem noise is formed separately. |
