Patent ID: 8768551

Claim:
A vehicle driving apparatus, comprising: a left wheel driving device comprising: a first motor that drives a left wheel of a vehicle; and a first transmission device disposed on a power transmission path between the first motor and the left wheel; a right wheel driving device comprising: a second motor that drives a right wheel of the vehicle; and a second transmission device disposed on a power transmission path between the second motor and the right wheel; and a motor controller that controls the first and second motors, wherein each of the first and second transmission devices comprises first to third rotation elements, wherein the first motor is connected to the first rotation element of the first transmission device, and the second motor is connected to the first rotation element of the second transmission device, wherein the left wheel is connected to the second rotation element of the first transmission device, and the right wheel is connected to the second rotation element of the second transmission device, wherein the third rotation element of the first transmission device and the third rotation element of the second transmission device are connected to each other, and wherein when the motor controller controls the third rotation elements connected to each other such that rotations of the third rotation elements reach a targeted value, the motor controller performs driving control on either one of the first and second motors so as to control the rotations of the third rotations elements.
