Drive apparatus for hybrid vehicle

A drive apparatus (100, 200, 300) for a hybrid vehicle (1000) includes: an engine (2) applying a drive force to drive wheels (9) via a drive shaft (21); a motor (1) applying a drive force to the drive wheels via a rotation shaft (14); a planetary gear mechanism (FP) having first, second, and third elements (Sf, Qf, Rf) lining up sequentially with a gap interposed therebetween corresponding to a gear ratio; and an automatic transmission (4) having input and output shafts (41, 42) rotatably connected to the drive wheels, and changing a gear ratio obtained by the division of the rotation speed of the input shaft by the rotation speed of the output shaft, wherein the input and drive shafts are connected to the second element, the output shaft and one end of the rotation shaft are connected to the first element, and the output shaft and the other end of the rotation shaft are connected to the third element.
