A vehicle driving apparatus for a vehicle with wheels includes an engine, a transmission mechanism, an input shaft, a power generation motor, and a motor clutch. The transmission mechanism is disposed between the engine and the wheels. The input shaft is disposed between the engine and the transmission mechanism and coupled to a crank shaft of the engine via a damper mechanism. The power generation motor is disposed between the engine and the transmission mechanism and includes a hollow rotor through which the input shaft extends. The motor clutch is switched between an engaged state and a released state. When being the engaged state, the motor clutch couples the input shaft and the hollow rotor. When being in the released state, the motor clutch releases coupling between the input shaft and the hollow rotor.
