Hybrid drive system (40, 130, 160, 200, 230, 260) for a motor vehicle, including (a) an engine (42) operated by combustion of a fuel, (b) a planetary gear mechanism (46) having a sun gear (46s) and a carrier (46c) one of which is connected to the engine, and a ring gear (46r) connected to an output member (50, 232), (c) a motor/generator (48) connected to the output member, and (d) a differential gear device (72) having output shafts (76, 78) and an input member (74) rotated by a drive force received from the output member, and wherein the motor/generator, the planetary gear mechanism and the output member are arranged coaxially with each other along a first axis (O1), and the output shafts are disposed along a second axis (O2) parallel to the first axis. The planetary gear mechanism (46) is disposed in a radially inner space provided radially inwardly of a stator coil (90) of the motor/generator, and the input member (74) includes a radially outer portion which overlaps a radially outer portion of the motor/generator in the radial direction of the motor/generator. <IMAGE> |
