Drive unit

摘要

In a drive unit using an electric motor as a driving source, a coolant circuit for cooling the electric motor is simplified. The drive unit comprises an electric motor M and a circulation passage L for coolant for cooling the motor M in a drive unit case. There is provided a circulation passage F for second coolant different from the circulation passage L for coolant. A heat exchange portion C with the circulation passage L for the first coolant in the drive unit case is provided in the circulation passage F for the second coolant, and the first coolant for cooling the electric motor is cooled by heat transfer to the second coolant at one heat exchange portion on the drive unit case side. Accordingly, the coolant circuit on the drive unit case side is simplified.
