Abstract

A vehicle cooling structure to be applied to a vehicle includes a gear case, an inverter, a step-down converter, and a cooling passage. The gear case is to house a gear mechanism and oil of the vehicle. The inverter is disposed on an outer surface of the gear case and to be electrically coupled to a motor of the vehicle. The step-down converter is disposed on the outer surface of the gear case and electrically coupled to the inverter. The cooling passage is formed between an inner surface of the gear case and the inverter, and between the inner surface and the step-down converter. The cooling passage is configured such that coolant flows therethrough.
