Abstract:
An hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) drives front wheels by a motor-generator via drive shafts by use of electricity generated by an internal combustion engine (ICE). A lower portion of the internal combustion engine is locate on a front side of a lower portion of the motor-generator in the vehicle body with being distanced therefrom. A steering gearbox is placed between the internal combustion engine and the motor-generator and located on a front side of the drive shafts. According to this configuration, driving stability, steering feeling, and noise and vibration can be balanced at a high level.
