A utility vehicle comprises: a cargo; an engine disposed under the cargo,
the engine including a fore-and-aft crankshaft; a lateral axle disposed
under the cargo; a hydrostatic transmission (a hydraulic pump and a
hydraulic motor) disposed under the cargo so as to transmit power from
the engine to the axle; and a mechanical transmission (e.g., a planetary
gear mechanism) disposed under the cargo so as to transmit power from the
engine to the axle. The mechanical transmission includes a transmission
shaft disposed in parallel to the axle. The hydrostatic transmission and
the mechanical transmission are laterally juxtaposed. Therefore, the
utility vehicle is minimized while ensuring a sufficiently large capacity
of the cargo.
