Abstract
A vehicle drive device includes a rotating electrical machine, transmission mechanism, and inverter device. The rotating electrical machine and a pair of output members have a two-axis configuration. The transmission mechanism includes, coaxially with the output members, an output gear drivingly connected to the output members. A first output member is between the rotating electrical machine and inverter device horizontally in an up-down direction where both the rotating electrical machine and inverter device are disposed. The output gear overlaps each rotating electrical machine and inverter device as viewed in an axial direction. The inverter device is on the opposite side of the first output member from the rotating electrical machine and above the first output member. A case includes a peripheral wall portion that separates the first output member and the inverter device from each other. The peripheral wall portion overlaps the output gear as viewed in the axial direction.
