MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617077540 A) filed by Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki Kaisha on June 23, 2026, for Drive Device.
Inventors include Nakagami Soma; Okuda Koichi; and Masuda Yuto.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: A drive device according to the present invention includes: a first electric motor; a first power transmission mechanism that transmits power from the first electric motor to at least one of a right-left pair of drive wheels; a second electric motor; a second power transmission mechanism that transmits power from the second electric motor to at least the other of the right-left pair of drive wheels; and an energy storage device that supplies power to the first electric motor and the second electric motor. The drive device constitutes a charging circuit that supplies a charging current supplied by an external power source to the energy storage device via the neutral point of the first electric motor. The reaction force received by the first electric motor from the first power transmission mechanism when the first electric motor rotationally drives the first power transmission mechanism at a prescribed acceleration is greater than the reaction force received by the second electric motor from the second power transmission mechanism when the second electric motor rotationally drives the second power transmission mechanism at the prescribed acceleration.
