Claim 0:
1. A vehicle drive device comprising:
a rotating electrical machine that functions as a driving force source for a wheel;
an input member drivingly connected to the rotating electrical machine;
a pair of output members each drivingly connected to the wheel;
a differential gear mechanism that distributes rotation transmitted from the rotating electrical machine to the pair of output members;
a transmission gear mechanism that drivingly connects the input member and the differential gear mechanism;
a hydraulic pump that includes a pump rotor and a pump chamber housing the pump rotor and that supplies oil to the rotating electrical machine, bearings, or gear meshing parts; and
a case that houses the rotating electrical machine, the input member, the differential gear mechanism, the transmission gear mechanism, and the hydraulic pump, wherein:
a direction along a rotation axis of the rotating electrical machine is an axial direction,
the case includes a partition wall that separates in the axial direction a first housing chamber housing the rotating electrical machine and a second housing chamber housing the transmission gear mechanism and the differential gear mechanism,
the pump chamber is formed in the partition wall so as to be located between the first housing chamber and the second housing chamber in the axial direction,
the hydraulic pump further includes a pump input shaft connected to the pump rotor such that the pump input shaft rotates with the pump rotor, and
the pump input shaft is disposed so as to extend through the partition wall in the axial direction, and is drivingly connected to a shaft of the transmission gear mechanism in the second housing chamber.
