Abstract
A drive unit includes an electric motor, a torque converter, a reducer, a first shaft, a second shaft, and a clutch. The torque converter amplifies a torque generated by the electric motor when the torque is directed in a first rotational direction. The reducer is configured to output the torque by reducing a speed of rotation of the electric motor. The first shaft transmits the torque from the electric motor to the torque converter. The second shaft transmits the torque from the torque converter to the reducer. The clutch is disposed in the interior of the reducer. The clutch allows or blocks transmission of the torque between the first shaft and the second shaft.
