Patent ID: 8678118

Claim:
A vehicle drive device, characterized by comprising: two independent systems provided for two driving wheels, respectively, each system including a rotating electrical machine, an output member to be connected to a corresponding driving wheel, and a drive transmission system which includes a counter deceleration mechanism, and which connects the rotating electrical machine and the output member to each other so that driving force is transmitted; a case integrally accommodating the rotating electrical machines, the output members, and the drive transmission systems of the two systems, wherein the rotating electrical machine, the output member, and the counter deceleration mechanism of each system are provided so that their respective rotation axes are parallel to each other, and are positioned so as to overlap each other in the rotation axis direction, and the rotating electrical machine of each system is provided with an output portion located on one side of the rotating electrical machine which is distal from the corresponding driving wheel in the rotation axis direction of the rotating electrical machine, the counter deceleration mechanism of each system has a first gear and a second gear which are rotating integrally with each other, the first gear is connected to the output portion of the rotating electrical machine so that driving force is transmitted, and the second gear is provided at a position that is more proximal to the corresponding driving wheel than the first gear is in the rotation axis direction of the counter deceleration mechanism, and is connected to the output member.
