A vehicle drive train and drive train system is provided to simplify wire
harness including power cables and reduce power loss in an engine-motor
hybrid vehicle drive train system. The drive train and system includes
some wheels driven by an engine, and other wheels driven by a motorized
machine. When the running load is large, for example, starting a vehicle
or running on a climbing lane, the motorized machine is activated for
driving wheels in order to assist the engine. When no motor assistances
is needed (for example, in low to medium load running or deceleration),
the motorized machine functions as a generator to convert mechanical
energy from the wheels into electric energy. The motorized machine,
inverter, capacitor device and controller are integrated into a unit and
the unit is attached to a differential gear.
