Abstract

A vehicle includes a motor, an inverter, an inter-line short circuit, an operation circuit, and a harness. The motor is provided in a wheel. The inverter is configured to supply electric power to the motor. The inter-line short circuit is provided in the wheel and configured to cause the motor to be short-circuited when not in operation and couple the motor and the inverter when in operation. The operation circuit is provided in a vehicle body of the vehicle and configured to operate the inter-line short circuit. The harness extends between the wheel and the vehicle body. In the harness, at least one power supply line, which is configured to supply electric power to the motor through the inverter and the inter-line short circuit, and an operation line, which is configured to couple the inter-line short circuit and the operation circuit, are bundled.
