<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hybrid vehicle capable of employing the foot shaft drive system without considerably changing the design of a holding generator motor type transmission. <P>SOLUTION: Since the driving force of a generator motor M1 disposed to surround an outer circumference of an input shaft 16 of a transmission T is transmitted to an output shaft 17 of the transmission T via an endless chain 78 in the hybrid vehicle, the driving force between the generator motor M1 and the output shaft 17 is transmitted without via an engine E and the input shaft 16. In other words, the foot shaft drive is realized, and the power consumption is reduced and the energy recovery efficiency during the regenerative braking is enhanced thereby. Further, in the hybrid vehicle, since a crank shaft 15 of the engine E and the input shaft 16 of the transmission T are disposed concentrically, and the generator motor M1 is disposed at the position held by the engine E and the transmission T, the generator motor M1 can be disposed similarly to a known holding generator motor type, and the foot shaft drive system can be employed without considerably changing the design of the transmission T. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
