ABSTRACT:
Right front wheel units (FL, FR) are driven independently by motor generators (MGL, MGR). A power control unit (1) is provided common to the motor generators (MGL, MGR) and integrally controls driving them. Each motor generator (MGL, MGR) and the power control unit (1) are selectively connected by switch circuits (SWL, SWR). The switch circuits (SWL, SWR) are switched by an ECU (3), as appropriate, in accordance with how the vehicle (100) is currently traveling (i.e., a driving force that the vehicle is required to output, and a direction in which the vehicle is traveling). In other words, the vehicle (100) can selectively implement traveling with the left and right front wheel units (FL, FR) both serving as driving wheel units, and traveling with only one of the left and right front wheel units (FL, FR) serving as a driving wheel unit, depending on how the vehicle is currently traveling.
