Abstract
A vehicle drive device includes an input member coupled to an internal combustion engine; an output member coupled to a wheel; a rotating electrical machine; a fluid coupling; and a case containing at least the rotating electrical machine and the fluid coupling. The fluid coupling includes an input and an output that is paired with the input. The rotating electrical machine includes a rotor and a rotor support that extends radially inward from the rotor in an axial direction with respect to the coupling input, and supports the rotor via a support bearing. A power transmission member is formed by coupling at least the rotor support and the coupling input together so that at least the rotor support and the coupling input rotate together. A movement restricting mechanism restricts axial movement of the power transmission member toward the axial direction.
