Abstract: In a hybrid vehicle of the present invention, a clutch motor, an assist motor, and an engine are connected via a dual clutch, which includes an inner clutch arranged between an inner shaft and a middle shaft and an outer clutch arranged between the middle shaft and an outer shaft. An inner rotor of the clutch motor and the engine are linked with the inner shaft. The assist motor is linked with the middle shaft. An outer rotor of the clutch motor and an axle are linked with the outer shaft. Changing the coupling state of the middle shaft changes over the connection of the assist motor between the engine and the clutch motor. The connection of the assist motor with the clutch motor in the state of underdrive or in the case of a requirement of abrupt acceleration desirably improves the driving efficiency and ensures the smooth acceleration.

Abstract: A rotor piece has a plurality of holes 12. Each hole holds therein a plurality of substantially divided permanent magnets 14 that are arranged in a circumferential direction. Therefore, each permanent magnet is small and the flow passage of eddy currents becomes narrow, so that the magnitude of eddy currents becomes small. The total eddy currents in all the permanent magnets is also reduced, so that the eddy current loss can be reduced and the heat generation of the motor can be reduced. Adjacent ones of the substantially divided permanent magnets may be interconnected at portions thereof. One or more of the substantially divided permanent magnets 14 in one or more holes may be ferrite magnets, with other permanent magnets being rare-earth magnets.
