  • Publication number: 20240133460
    Abstract: Since the oil pump and the oil cooler are provided in the rear cover and the cooling oil passages for guiding the oil to the respective electric motors MG are integrated in the rear cover, the cooling oil passages do not pass through other case members other than the rear cover. As a consequence, it is possible to shorten the cooling oil passage through which the oil is guided to the respective electric motors MG.
