An electric motor for a hybrid vehicle includes a rotor disposed and coupled
between
an internal combustion engine and a transmission, the rotor being coupled, at one
end thereof in a direction of a rotation axis, to a crank shaft of the internal
combustion engine and, at the other end, to the transmission via a drive plate;
a through hole provided to extend in the direction of the rotation axis through
the rotor; a fastening hole provided respectively in an end face of the crank shaft
and in the drive plate to face, and be in communication with, the through hole;
and a fastening member mounted in the through hole and in each of the fastening
holes such that the rotor is fixed between the crank shaft and the drive plate.
A desired performance is secured easily while preventing an excess increase in
the cost for producing rotors.
