Abstract: A method for producing beryllium-copper containing at least Be and Cu, includes holding the beryllium-copper for a predetermined solid solution time in a solid solution temperature range in which the Be is dissolved into the Cu, cooling the beryllium-copper at a cooling speed at which the Be remains dissolved in the Cu, applying plastic strain to a cooled beryllium-copper over multiple times in a processing temperature range in which the Be is not precipitated, and holding the beryllium-copper for a predetermined age hardening time in a precipitation temperature range in which the Be is precipitated.

Abstract: A vehicle driving apparatus includes a rotating electrical machine; a power transmitting gear mechanism; and a case in which the rotating electrical machine and the gear mechanism are housed in series in an axial direction of the rotating electrical machine, wherein a low rigidity region, which is a region of the case having low rigidity located at an outer periphery of the rotating electrical machine, is covered by a silencer supported on a high rigidity region of the case having a higher rigidity than the low rigidity region.
