Vehicle drive apparatus
A transmission mechanism is provided with an output gear drivingly coupled to at least one of a pair of output members and placed coaxially with the pair of output members. A direction in which a rotating electrical machine and an inverter device are arranged side by side in an axial view is defined as a first direction. A direction perpendicular to both an axial direction and the first direction is defined as a second direction. A first output member that is one of the pair of output members is placed between the rotating electrical machine and the inverter device in the first direction, at a position in the second direction where both the rotating electrical machine and the inverter device are placed. The output gear is placed in such a manner as to overlap each of the rotating electrical machine and the inverter device in the axial view.
Transmission system
A transmission system suitable for operation with a drive machine includes an input shaft for a drive power, at least one output shaft for outputting drive power, a power-split transmission section having at least one variable transmission branch and a mechanical transmission branch, a manual transmission, a transmission system controller, and at least one first and second electric machine for generator and motor operation. The electric machines are electrically connected to one another. The drive power is divided up and conducted by the mechanical and variable transmission branch. An input-coupled, magnetically electric epicyclic gear stage brings together the variable transmission branch and mechanical transmission branch, and is activated by the second electric machine such that the output shaft of the transmission system rotates counter to a direction of rotation at the input shaft to provide a forward and reverse operation of the transmission system.

Mounting system for powertrain of vehicle
A mounting system for a powertrain of a vehicle may secure a sufficient installation space inside of vehicle body frames and greatly reduce a height difference between the center of gravity of a motor-reducer assembly and insulators, thus greatly improving NVH performance of the vehicle. The mounding system includes: mounting units to mount the powertrain of the vehicle to the vehicle body frames. Each mounting unit includes: a vehicle body-side bracket coupled to the vehicle body frame, a powertrain-side bracket coupled to the powertrain, and an insulator installed between the vehicle body-side bracket and the powertrain-side bracket. The vehicle body-side bracket as coupled to an outer surface of the vehicle body frame extends downwards from the vehicle body frame, and thus, the vehicle body-side bracket and the insulator are located in an outer space of the vehicle body frame.
