PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid vehicle capable of reducing the weight and cost of a power supply harness and a cooling system. SOLUTION: A drive motor 3 is connected to a rear part of an engine 2, a transmission 5 is connected to a rear end of the drive motor 3, and an inverter unit 8 and a high-voltage battery 9 are mounted parallel and close to each other on a center part of a floor of a hybrid vehicle 1. The inverter unit 8 and the high-voltage battery 9 are separated from each other at the position close in the vehicle width direction, and arranged between front and rear axles. An inverter 10 and a DC-DC converter 11 of the inverter unit 8 and the drive motor 3 are cooled with liquid refrigerant fed from a water cooling system 12 in a circulating manner. The high-voltage battery 9 is cooled with cooled air from an air-conditioner of the hybrid car 1. Cooled air fed from the air-conditioner passes through a cooling duct 24 connected to a reinforcing member 23 having an air hole 23a to cool the high-voltage battery 9. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
