To efficiently output power from an internal combustion engine to two different driving shafts, and to miniaturize a device.
In order to A three-axle power distributing and integrating mechanism 30 is connected to the crankshaft 26 of an engine 22 and the rotational shaft of a motor MG1. A power distributing mechanism 40 is mounted on the output shaft of the mechanism 30 for distributing the power that acts on the output shaft to a first driving shaft 50 connected to the axle 56 of rear wheels 58a, 58b and to a second driving shaft 60 connected to the axle 66 of front wheels 68a, 68b. A motor MG2 and a motor MG3 are mounted on the first driving shaft 50 and the second driving shaft 60. The engine 22 is controlled in such a way that power is efficiently outputted from the engine 22 to meet required power. The motors MG1 to MG3 are driven and controlled in such a way that power generated by the motor MG1 as the engine 22 is controlled is consumed by the motor MG2 and motor MG3.
