VEHICULAR DRIVE APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular drive apparatus capable of adapting drive force on left and right drive wheels to required various drive states and eliminating or suppressing unbalance in the left and right drive force.SOLUTION: In a vehicular drive apparatus, front wheel-sides 11Rf, 11Lf are provided with a front wheel drive unit 1f that includes a high-output front wheel motor 2f for driving a first front wheel, a low-output front wheel motor 3f for driving a second front wheel and a front wheel-side clutch 23f, and rear wheel-sides 11Rr, 11Lr are provided with a rear wheel drive unit 1r that includes a high-output rear wheel motor 2r for driving a first rear wheel, a low-output rear wheel motor 3r for driving a second rear wheel, and a rear wheel-side clutch 23r. Further, the first front wheel and the second rear wheel are drive wheels of one of left-side wheels 11Lf, 11Lr and right-side wheels 11Rf, 11Rr, while the second front wheel and the first rear wheel are drive wheels of the other of left-side wheels 11Lf, 11Lr and right-side wheels 11Rf, 11Rr.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】左右の駆動輪での駆動力を、要求される各種の駆動状態に適合させることができ、しかも左右の駆動力のアンバランスを解消もしくは抑制することができる車両用駆動装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両用駆動装置において、第１前輪を駆動する高出力前輪モータ２ｆと、第２前輪を駆動する低出力前輪モータ３ｆと、前輪側クラッチ２３ｆとを有する前輪駆動ユニット１ｆが前輪側１１Ｒｆ，１１Ｌｆに設けられ、第１後輪を駆動する高出力後輪モータ２ｒと、第２後輪を駆動する低出力後輪モータ３ｒと、後輪側クラッチ２３ｒとを有する後輪駆動ユニット１ｒが後輪側１１Ｒｒ，１１Ｌｒに設けられ、第１前輪と第２後輪とが左側車輪１１Ｌｆ，１１Ｌｒと右側車輪１１Ｒｆ，１１Ｒｒとの一方の駆動輪であり、第２前輪と第１後輪とが左側車輪１１Ｌｆ，１１Ｌｒと右側車輪１１Ｒｆ，１１Ｒｒとの他方の駆動輪である。【選択図】図２
