Hybrid vehicle propulsion apparatus

A motor generator (M) has a rotor (48) directly coupled to a crankshaft (28) and a stator (50) disposed around the rotor (48). A shield plate (80) is disposed between coils (70) of the stator (50) and an internal combustion engine (E). A first partition (94) and a second partition (108) are disposed between the coils (70) and a flywheel (100) positioned adjacent to a clutch mechanism (C).
