Durability of a planetary gear set can be enhanced and noise can be reduced by utilizing a power transmitting apparatus for a hybrid vehicle that supports a planetary gear set in an axial direction and a perpendicular direction. In addition, because a parking gear is disposed on a second shaft, torque can be minimized when the vehicle is parked on a slanted road.
