In a hybrid vehicle including an engine 61 and a generator-motor 43 as a drive source, a driving force transfer system 60 is constituted by disposing a centrifugal clutch 62, a transmission 48 and a one-way clutch 65 in a driving force transfer path from the engine 61 up to a driving force joining point 53 where the driving force of the generator-motor 43 and that of the engine 61 join together. By switching the generator-motor into the motor, the vehicle can be moved forward by both engine and generator-motor, while by switching the generator-motor into the generator, batteries can be charged while electric power is generated by the engine, and the vehicle can be moved forward or backward by the generator-motor alone with the engine OFF. Thus, the vehicle can be moved backward using the generator-motor as a drive source, and batteries can be charged through the generator-motor using the engine as a drive source. <IMAGE> |
