Abstract: A vehicle drive system configured with a dynamo within a case. The case is disposed on at least one axial side of the dynamo, and includes a wall portion overlapping the dynamo, which has a section that overlaps with the dynamo as viewed from the axial direction. The wall portion overlapping the dynamo includes a supply flow passage through which lubricating-cooling fluid flows, and which is formed with a first supply portion that supplies lubricating-cooling fluid to a rotor support bearing for the dynamo electric.
