A first support is open toward a first side in an axial direction. A press member is at such a position as to press a first friction plate and second friction plate of a friction clutch device from the first side in the axial direction. An intermediate member includes a body between the press member and a second support in the axial direction and a protrusion protruding toward the first side of the body in the axial direction. The press member has an insertion hole extending through the press member in the axial direction and configured to receive the protrusion.

An engine system comprising: a housing having an accommodating cavity; a crankshaft part, a speed change mechanism and a transmission shaft are provided in the accommodating cavity; and a first motor and a second motor are located outside the accommodating cavity and provided on the housing. The crankshaft part is provided in the accommodating cavity and outputs first power. The first motor comprises a first motor shaft which is connected to an output end of the crankshaft part to convert the first power into electric energy. The second motor comprises a second motor shaft and is configured to output second power according to electric energy. The speed change mechanism is drivingly connected to the second motor shaft without connecting the output end of the crankshaft part. The transmission shaft is connected to an output end of the speed change mechanism. Also disclosed is an all-terrain vehicle.

A revolution position of an engine is set to a revolution position suitable for a start. A control apparatus for an electric vehicle includes an engine, a motor which generates electricity, a battery, a first controller which drives the engine, a second controller which drives the motor, and a sensor. The second controller confirms a relative position relationship between a revolution position of the engine and a rotation position of the motor by acquiring information of the revolution position of the engine from the first controller during the electricity generation driving by the motor and monitors the revolution position of the engine based on the relative position relationship and a signal from the sensor, and the second controller checks the stop position of the engine through the monitoring of the revolution position of the engine when the motor finishes the electricity generation driving.

A device for power transmission within a hybrid motor vehicle and a method of operating the device. The device is a P2 module and includes a torque converter, an electric motor, a connect/disconnect clutch and a one-way clutch. The torque converter is configured to be coupled to an input member of the transmission. The electric motor includes a rotor that is fixedly connected to the input of the torque converter. The connect/disconnect clutch has an input member configured to be coupled to the output of the engine and has first and second clutch members moveable between a disengaged and engaged positons. The second clutch member is also fixedly connected to the torque converter. The one-way clutch is coupled between the connect/disconnect clutch and the torque converter and has a locked up configuration and an overrunning configuration.

On a lower side of a floor (2), a battery storage section (31) is formed on a front side of a cross member (27) that connects left and right side members (3l, 3r) to dispose a driving battery (34), a tank storage section (30) is formed on a rear side to dispose a fuel tank (32) and a driving motor (9) is disposed on a rear side of the tank storage section (30). A power cable (26) from a terminal block (34a) of the driving battery (34) is routed and fixed as appropriate so as to bypass the fuel tank (32) via the left side of the fuel tank (32) in the tank storage section (30) and connected to the driving motor (9) via a junction box (21). In an extra length routing area (37) on a side wall (27a) of the cross member (27), an extra length area (26a) is formed by slackening the power cable (26) in a semicircular shape.
