Abstract
A power transmission apparatus of a vehicle is provided. The power transmission apparatus includes: an input shaft; a brake mechanism; an oil pump; a housing case; a center support; a lubricating oil reservoir; and an oil passage. The brake mechanism includes a stationary race and a rotary race that are adjacently arranged in an axial direction of the input shaft. The center support is disposed between an inner surface of the housing case and the input shaft in the housing case. The center support is configured to support the input shaft relative to the housing case. The lubricating oil reservoir is disposed in a lubrication passage of the lubricating oil inside the housing case. The oil passage communicates the lubricating oil reservoir with the rotary race of the brake mechanism such that the lubricating oil reserved in the lubricating oil reservoir is supplied into the brake mechanism.
