Abstract
A vehicle-mounted apparatus includes: a motor unit configured to apply a rotational driving force to a wheel of a vehicle and including a drive motor and a speed reducer that reduces a speed of rotation of an output shaft of the drive motor; and a friction brake that reduces rotation of the wheel. The friction brake includes: at least one rotation disc provided so as to be rotatable integrally with the output shaft; a housing that is a non-rotatable member; at least one friction plate held by the housing so as to be movable relative to the housing in the axial direction such that rotation of the at least one friction plate relative to the housing about the axis is restricted; and a pressing device that presses the at least one friction plate against the at least one rotation disc.
