Abstract
In a driving apparatus for a hybrid vehicle, a travel motor is provided on a rear end of the power unit such that power from the travel motor is transmitted to a differential mechanism from a motor shaft via a gear train and a pinion shaft. Further, an engine is provided on a front end of the power unit, and a generator is provided in the center of the power unit. The engine and the generator are coupled via a gear train, and a generator shaft is disposed above a crankshaft. Thus, a space can be secured below the generator so that the pinion shaft can be disposed below the generator.
