ABSTRACT:
A drive unit (D) including a front axle (18) with front axle shafts (20, 22) rotatably supported therein, an electric motor (24), and a reduction gear unit operatively connecting the electric motor to the front axle shafts. A housing (26) for the reduction gear unit fixes the electric motor (24) to the front axle (18) and a pair of brackets (28, 30) connect opposite end portions (18c) of the front axle (18) to the opposite front side frame members (10, 12), respectively, so that the housing (26) with the electric motor (24) is swingable about an axis of the front axle shafts (20, 22). Bosses (38, 40) are formed on the housing (26) and on one of the brackets (28), respectively, and a bolt (42) is inserted through the holes (38a, 40a) in the bosses for detachably fixing the housing (26) with the bracket (28), to thereby fix the electric motor (24) to the front side frame member (10) via the bracket (28).
