1. A drive system of a hybrid utility vehicle,
the drive system comprising:
an internal combustion engine including a crank shaft;
a continuously variable transmission including
an input shaft connected to the internal combustion engine,
an output shaft,
a driving pulley disposed at the input shaft,
a driven pulley disposed at the output shaft, and
a belt wound around the driving pulley and the driven pulley;

a drive train that connects the output shaft of the continuously variable transmission to a driving wheel;
an electric motor;
a branch train that connects the electric motor to the drive train such that power is transmitted from the electric motor to the drive train;
an engine clutch that cuts transmission of rotational driving power, which has been input from the electric motor through the branch train to the drive train, to the internal combustion engine;
a motor generator; and
an MG train that connects the motor generator to the internal combustion engine such that power is transmitted between the motor generator and the internal combustion engine, wherein
the internal combustion engine is arranged between the electric motor and the motor generator relative to a front-rear direction of the vehicle.
