<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the use of a parallel driving system without changing an engine flywheel, a transmission or a vehicle chassis. <P>SOLUTION: This parallel driving system is satisfactorily suitable for being supported by, in particular, an axle 28 of a vehicle. A connection device includes a clutch mechanism 50 and a gear reduction gear 60 for connecting an electric motor 40 with a driving wheel selectively and supplying torque to the wheel singly or by combining with input from an internal combustion engine. Driving torque can be supplied from the internal combustion engine only. In this configuration, the electric motor 40 can be used as a power generator when, for example, coasting or braking. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
