A vehicle includes a motor accommodated in a housing and a power control unit. The power control unit is supported by a front bracket and a rear bracket and fixed above the housing. The rear bracket has a base section, a support section and ribs. The ribs are arranged on both sides of the support section in a vehicle width direction, and each of the ribs has a fragile section. The fragile section is configured to yield first in each of the ribs at a time when the power control unit receives a collision load from a vehicle front direction.
