Abstract
A power plant for a vehicle of the present invention includes an electric motor attached to a transmission housing attached to an engine. The electric motor is attached to the side of the transmission housing toward the engine and is connected to the engine interposed by an anchor point. When the engine is viewed in a crankshaft direction, a line connecting the anchor point and the center of gravity of the electric motor intersects a line extending along a direction in which the electric motor vibrates due to vibration of the engine in the absence of an anchor point.
