Abstract
In a driving system comprising an engine, a plurality of motor-generators and a plurality of coaxial differential mechanisms, rotating output axes of the plurality of motor-generators are disposed parallel to and opposite to a rotating output axis of the engine. The coaxial differential mechanisms are arranged between the engine and the motors. The coaxial differential mechanisms are disposed so that straight lines passing through rotating axes of at least two of the coaxial differential mechanisms are parallel to each other, and the output power of the engine is transmitted to the coaxial differential mechanisms through gears. It is possible to provide a small sized and high productive driving system.
