Abstract
A powertrain structure of a vehicle includes an engine, a motor, a battery, a power converter, and a housing. The power converter includes a direct current (DC) busbar, a smoothing capacitor, a power module, and an alternating current (AC) busbar lined up in this order in a first direction, and a case accommodating these components. The case has a first accommodating part extending in a second direction and accommodating the power module, the smoothing capacitor, and the DC busbar, and a second accommodating part protruding downwardly from an end of the first accommodating part on one side in the second direction, and accommodating a lower part of the AC busbar. The case is disposed above an upwardly-bulging curved part of the housing so that the second accommodating part is offset from a top part of the curved part to the one side in the second direction.
