Abstract:
A first ring gear of a drive unit is connected to a second carrier and is mechanically connected to a counter shaft. A first sun gear is connected to a second sun gear and a first rotary electric machine. A first clutch selectively switches between a connection state and a disconnection state of the first sun gear and an engine. A second clutch selectively switches between a connection state and a disconnection state of a first carrier and the engine. A brake selectively switches between a fixed state and a release state of a second ring gear to and from a fixing member.
