Abstract: A hub seal seals a gap between an outer race member and an inner race member of a hub bearing. The hub seal includes: an annular base; and a seal member attached to the base and including an annular elastic material. The seal member includes a side lip extending toward an outer side and an intermediate lip extending toward the outer side on an inner periphery side relative to the side lip. A sliding surface of the side lip that comes into contact to seal the gap between the outer race member and the inner race member is rougher than a sliding surface of the intermediate lip that comes into contact to seal the gap between the outer race member and the inner race member.

Abstract: In an engine compartment, an engine, a generator using the engine as a power source, a motor for driving the vehicle, and a gear box are arranged in alignment in a vehicle width direction. The first high-voltage equipment is vertically provided on a generating unit that includes the engine and the generator. The second high-voltage equipment is vertically provided on a drive unit that includes the motor and the gear box. The first high-voltage equipment and the second high-voltage equipment are coupled by a coupling member that extends substantially horizontally in the vehicle width direction and supports the high-voltage equipment, against a falling load directed from one thereof toward the other.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes: a cowl member that is formed to extend in a vehicle width direction and bulges to the front from a rear side of a motor chamber; a power unit that is fixed to a right side frame in the motor chamber, has a lower portion fixed to a vehicle body, and drives the vehicle by electricity; and a protection bracket provided on an upper surface of the power unit, wherein the protection bracket is configured to abut the cowl member in the case where a frontal collision of a vehicle occurs and the power unit moves downward to the rear.
