A drive apparatus for a vehicle, having good assemblability. The drive apparatus for a vehicle has a first electric motor, a power distribution mechanism (first gear apparatus), a second electric motor (M2), and a stepped automatic speed changer (second gear apparatus)(20). One unit (power transmission section)(100) is made up from a second case (12b) and from the second electric motor (M2) and the automatic speed changer (20) that are received in the second case (12b). The end on the drive apparatus output shaft (22) side of an input shaft (104) of the automatic speed changer (20) is supported by a first support wall (106) attached to the second case (12b). The electric motor (M2) is received in space on the side opposite the automatic speed changer (20) relative to the first support wall (106). The end on the automatic speed changer (20) side of a rotor support shaft (116) of the second electric motor (M2) is supported by a second support wall (122) attached to the second case (12b). The automatic speed changer (20) and the second electric motor (M2) can be integrated as one power transmission section, and this improves assemblability of the drive apparatus.
