Abstract
A housing of a motor generator is integrally coupled to an end of an internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine includes an oil pan and a cylinder block which have arcuate stiffener ribs and radial stiffener ribs on end surfaces thereof for increased mechanical strength of the internal combustion engine. The motor generator has a housing that is directly coupled to the internal combustion engine with a relatively small number of parts.
