Abstract
A driving apparatus of the present disclosure includes an electric motor including a stator and a rotor, a case accommodating the electric motor and mounted on a vehicle so as to partially overlap a side member as viewed from a vehicle width direction, a drive shaft connected to a wheel, a plurality of radial ribs respectively projecting in the vehicle width direction and extending radially, and a connecting rib projecting in the vehicle width direction and joining with center side ends of the plurality of radial ribs. At least part of the plurality of radial ribs reach a first region of the case that overlaps the side member and does not overlap with the wheel as viewed from the vehicle width direction. The driving apparatus improves strength of the case that accommodates the electric motor and is mounted on the vehicle.
