1. A vehicle comprising:
- an electric power source;
a motor housing accommodating motors for driving wheels; and
a power control unit fixed on the motor housing, the power control unit being configured to control drive electric power of the motors by using electric power of the electric power source,wherein the power control unit includes reactors, and a stacked unit in which multiple power modules and multiple coolers are stacked, the multiple power modules accommodating power semiconductor elements for electric power conversion,the stacked unit is arranged such that in a case of the power control unit, a stacking direction of the power modules and the coolers is directed toward a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, andthe reactors are disposed, in the case, at positions where the reactors do not overlap with the stacked unit as viewed from the stacking direction.

Abstract
A vehicle includes a motor housing accommodating motors for driving wheels, and a power control unit fixed on the motor housing. The power control unit includes: a stacked unit in which multiple power modules accommodating power semiconductor elements for electric power conversion and multiple coolers are stacked; and reactors. The stacked unit is disposed in the case of the power control unit such that the stacking direction of the power modules and the coolers is directed toward the vehicle-longitudinal direction. The reactors are disposed in the case so as not to overlap with the stacked unit as viewed from the stacking direction.
