Abstract:
1. A drive unit for a vehicle, the drive unit comprising: an engine; a differential motor having a first rotor that is connected to the engine and that is rotatable, the differential motor having a second rotor that is differentially rotatable with the first rotor, and the differential motor being able to output power output of the engine from the first rotor or the second rotor; and an automatic transmission configured to be able to change between plural shift speeds, the automatic transmission having plural gear pairs each of which corresponds to each of the shift speeds and an output shaft that is connected to an output side of the plural gear pairs, the automatic transmission configured to receive the power output of the engine via the differential motor, the automatic transmission configured to deliver the received power output of the engine to the output shaft, one of the first rotor and the second rotor being connected to an input side of the gear pair that corresponds to plural even shift speeds of the plural shift speeds, and the other of the first rotor and the second rotor being connected to an input side of the gear pair that corresponds to plural odd shift speeds of the plural shift speeds.
