Patent attributes
A hybrid vehicle drive device includes a transmission coupled to the engine output shaft of an engine, a final reduction gear coupled to the transmission output shaft of the transmission, a drive shaft coupled to the final reduction gear, and a power transmission mechanism that transmits the rotation of an electric motor to the final reduction gear. The hybrid vehicle drive device includes a transaxle case accommodating the transmission, the final reduction gear and the power transmission mechanism and having a mounting surface for mounting the engine and the electric motor. The transaxle case is formed by an engine-side converter housing, a transmission-side transmission case, and a middle wall attached to the converter housing and separating the converter housing from the transmission case, the power transmission mechanism being housed between the converter housing and the middle wall.
