Abstract
A rotating machine and a pinion shaft are separately arranged on opposite sides to each other in the vehicle front-rear direction across a third axis that is an axis of a differential device in plan view as seen from above the vehicle. This configuration enables the rotating machine, a parallel shaft transmission, the pinion shaft, the differential device, and others to be integrally assembled to a case, to thereby configure an electric drive unit to be compact, which is advantageous in space.
