Original Abstract Submitted
An electrified vehicle including a battery for drive, a charger, an electric motor, a transfer device, and a power control circuit is provided. A drive device including the electric motor, the transfer device, and a differential device and the power control circuit are housed in the same case as an integrated electromechanical unit. When mounted on the vehicle, rotational axes of components of the drive device are positioned such that the transfer device, the differential device, and the electric motor are arranged in this order in the forward-rearward travel direction. When mounted on the vehicle, a vertically lower portion of the power control circuit is disposed at a position overlapping a vertically upper portion of the electric motor as seen in the forward-rearward travel direction. A space is created vertically above the integrated electromechanical unit. When mounted on the vehicle, the charger is disposed vertically above the integrated electromechanical unit.
