A drive device for a vehicle, has an engine power disengaging clutch mounted in a lockup clutch-equipped fluid power transmitting device, wherein controllability and torque transmission capacities of both the clutches are increased, the amount of heat generation of friction materials when the clutches are engaged is reduced, the drive device allows a fluid drive device to be configured without an increase in the size thereof, and the drive device is configured without an increase in the size thereof. The lockup clutch and the engine power disengaging clutch which are provided in a torque converter are respectively formed as multi-plate clutches having actuators. The lockup clutch is provided closer to an engine than a torus, the engine power disengaging clutch is provided closer to the engine than the lockup clutch, and an actuator for the lockup clutch and an actuator for the engine power disengaging clutch are arranged facing each other so that friction plates are pressed in the direction in which the friction plates face each other.
