To provide a driving device for a small vehicle which makes the dimensions in the axial direction small without increasing the number of parallel shafts.
This driving device keeps a first motor M1 and a power distributing mechanism (differential section) 16 arranged on a first axial center CL1 which is the rotation center of an input rotary member 14 in order from the input rotary member 14. On a second axial center CL2 which is in parallel with the first axial center CL1, an automatic speed changing machine (speed changing section) 20 is arranged. Then, a transmitting member 18 and a first intermediate shaft (rotary member) 40 are power-transmissibly connected through a connecting device 23. In this case, the transmitting member 18 is a rotary member located on the end section on the opposite side from the input rotary member 14 on the first axial center CL1, i.e., on the opposite side from an engine 8 side. The first intermediate shaft 40 is located on the end section on the opposite side from the input rotary member 14 side on the second axial center CL2. Thus, the power transmitting path shows an open square shape, i.e., a U shape, and the dimension in the axial direction is shortened, and therefore, the driving device becomes compact without increasing the number of parallel shafts, and the structure is simplified.
