A second axis is located on a lower side with respect to a first axis and on a first widthwise side with respect to the first axis. An inverter device is disposed on the first widthwise side with respect to the second axis so that a disposition area in an up-down direction overlaps a rotary electric machine and a pair of output members. At least a part of a breather chamber is disposed between the rotary electric machine and the inverter device in a width direction in an area in the up-down direction where both the rotary electric machine and the inverter device are disposed.

An input member and a differential gear mechanism include a part arranged on an axial first side with respect to a rotary electric machine. The differential gear mechanism is connected to first wheel via shaft member including part that is arranged on axial second side with respect to differential gear mechanism. A case includes an outer peripheral support portion that is formed along core outer peripheral surface that is an outer peripheral surface of stator core, and that supports core outer peripheral surface in radial direction. A notch portion in which outer peripheral support portion is notched over entire area of arrangement area of stator core in an axial direction is formed in outer peripheral support portion, and notch portion is arranged at position that is between core outer peripheral surface and shaft member in radial direction, and that overlaps shaft member as seen in radial direction along radial direction.

A power transmission unit that can prevent an entrance of excessive torque to the powertrain is provided. The power transmission unit includes a transmission that transmits torque between an engine and drive wheels; a locking device that selectively halts a rotation of an output shaft of the engine; a transmission case holding a first motor, a second motor, the transmission, and the locking device; a first torque limiter disposed between the engine and the locking device to restrict torque transmitted between the drive wheels and the engine; and a second torque limiter held in the transmission case to restrict torque transmitted between the drive wheels and the locking device.

The present disclosure relates to a fuel tank having a module pot, which forms a first separate fuel reservoir for a fuel pump arranged inside the fuel tank. To prevent a gap in delivery of fuel to supply the first fuel reservoir in certain operating conditions, in particular when there is persistent lateral acceleration, according to the invention, a second separate fuel reservoir arranged separately from the first fuel reservoir inside the fuel tank is proposed, such that fuel is transferred from the second fuel reservoir into the first fuel reservoir at least when a predetermined acceleration level acting on the fuel tank is exceeded.

An apparatus for controlling an electric oil pump (EOP) includes a controller calculating first revolutions per minute (RPM), second RPM and third RPM, the first RPM being EOP RPM required for control of a brake in a transmission, the second RPM being EOP RPM required for cooling of a plurality of motors, and the third RPM being EOP RPM required for lubrication of the plurality of motors, the controller comparing the second RPM with the third RPM and driving the EOP at an RPM obtained by adding the first RPM to the greater of the second RPM and the third RPM.

A vehicle temperature control system includes: a first temperature control circuit; a second temperature control circuit; a heat exchanger in which heat exchange between a first temperature control medium and a second temperature control medium is performed; and a control device. The control device is capable of controlling a carrier frequency and a flow rate control valve of the second temperature control circuit based on the temperature of the first temperature control medium detected. In a case where the temperature of the first temperature control medium is lower than a predetermined value, the control device is configured to set the carrier frequency to be lower and controls the flow rate control valve such that the flow rate to a second branch flow path is smaller, as compared with a case where the temperature of the first temperature control medium is equal to or higher than the predetermined value.

A second axis is located on a lower side with respect to a first axis and on a first widthwise side with respect to the first axis. An inverter device is disposed on the first widthwise side with respect to the second axis so that a disposition area in an up-down direction overlaps a rotary electric machine and a pair of output members. At least a part of a breather chamber is disposed between the rotary electric machine and the inverter device in a width direction in an area in the up-down direction where both the rotary electric machine and the inverter device are disposed.
