Abstract
In a drive apparatus in which a first motor-generator, a power split device, a shift mechanism, and a second motor-generator are coaxially arranged, a first support wall which is next to the second motor-generator and supports one end of a rotor, and a second support wall that supports the other end of the rotor are provided in a case. A switching portion of the shift mechanism is provided on the first support wall. This kind of structure enables the drive apparatus to be shorter in the axial direction.
