Abstract
A power transmission apparatus includes a first one-way clutch disposed between a motor output shaft of an electric motor and a primary shaft, and a second one-way clutch disposed between an output transmission shaft coupled to a drive wheel and the motor output shaft. Using the motor output shaft as a reference, the two one-way clutches transmit torque in a single direction and do not transmit torque in the opposite direction. The one-way clutches are not operated using oil pressure, while power is not transmitted in a single direction in accordance with a torque magnitude. Therefore, a plurality of torque transmission paths are formed in the power transmission apparatus without the need for an oil pressure supply.
