Abstract
A hybrid vehicle drive system is designed to have dimensions that are shorter in an axial direction and improved centering accuracy of a rotor, in order to prevent deterioration of motor performance. A rotor support plate () has a flat-plate shaped disk portion (), and is fixed to a front cover () of a take off device (), such as a torque converter, or the like, at the disk portion with a set block () and a bolt (). A forward portion of the take off device is centered and supported by fitting a center piece () to a crankshaft (). A support-plate hub () is in contact with the center piece () at a small area () in a vicinity of a fixing plane P of the disk portion () and the set block (), and thus centering of the rotor () is executed.
