WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/026904

A1

The present invention provides a vehicle drive device capable of using in-wheel motors to efficiently drive a vehicle. The present invention is a vehicle drive device using in-wheel motors for driving a vehicle, and is characterized in that: the device is provided with a vehicle speed sensor (42) which detects the travel speed of the vehicle (1), in-wheel motors (20) which are provided to wheels of the vehicle and drive the wheels, an internal combustion engine (12) which is provided to the body of the vehicle and drives the wheels, and a controller (24) which controls the in-wheel motors and the internal combustion engine; when the vehicle travel speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor is below a prescribed vehicle speed, said prescribed vehicle speed being larger than zero, the controller causes the internal combustion engine to generate driving force while not causing the in-wheel motors to generate driving force; and when the vehicle travel speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor is the prescribed vehicle speed or higher, the controller causes the internal combustion engine and the in-wheel motors to generate driving force.
