Abstract
An electric motor for a hybrid vehicle includes a rotor disposed and coupled between an internal combustion engine and a transmission, the rotor being coupled, at one end thereof in a direction of a rotation axis, to a crank shaft of the internal combustion engine and, at the other end, to the transmission via a drive plate; a through hole provided to extend in the direction of the rotation axis through the rotor; a fastening hole provided respectively in an end face of the crank shaft and in the drive plate to face, and be in communication with, the through hole; and a fastening member mounted in the through hole and in each of the fastening holes such that the rotor is fixed between the crank shaft and the drive plate. A desired performance is secured easily while preventing an excess increase in the cost for producing rotors.
